Interview was first made a cult classic by Theo van Gogh's film in 2003 with a screenplay by Theodor Holman, followed by an early European stage production outside the UK. There was a U.S. film remake in 2007 with Steve Buscemi. Now it heads to the Riverside Studios and is directed by Teunkie Van Der Sluijs.
The production has been reimagined for a world driven by influencer culture, media distrust, and gender power plays. Interview follows Pierre Peters, a political journalist, and a fiercely intelligent influencer turned movie star called Katya. She's sick of being underestimated and objectified by male journalists. When the two meet, a tense evening in Katya's New York swiftly results in a volatile game of confession, confrontation, and manipulation.
Interview features a creative team consisting of scenic design by Tony Award-winner and Olivier Award nominee Derek McLane, costume design by Bernat Buscato, lighting design by Jackie Shemesh, sound design by Ata Güner and projection design by idontloveyouanymore (Anna West and Davi Callanan).The creative team are joined by associate designer Ben Davies, associate director Zoë Templeman-Young, and movement and intimacy director Christina Fulcher. Casting is by Julia Crampsie CDG and Wayne Linge for Crampsie Linge Casting. Interview is general managed by Smart Entertainment and produced by Tony Award -winner Douglas Denoff, with co-producers Kevin Kinsella (Tony Award and Olivier winner) Alexander “Sandy” Marshall (Tony nominee) and Broadway Rainbows (Tony nominee).
Interview plays at Riverside Studios from 23 August to 27 September 2025.
