The seductive 2-handed psychological thriller about truth, persona, and gender power will receive a world premiere in London in August for an exclusive limited run.
Robert Sean Leonard and Paten Hughes. Headshots provided by production.
Interview will be led by Tony Award winner Robert Sean Leonard (To Kill a Mockingbird; Broadway) and Paten Hughes (A View From the Bridge) at Riverside Studios.
Originally a cult classic thanks to Theo van Gogh’s provocative 2003 film, written by Theodor Holman, Interview went on to inspire an early European stage adaptation outside the UK and a 2007 U.S. film remake starring Steve Buscemi. Since then, it has continued to captivate audiences worldwide.
The London stage production will be adapted and directed by Teunkie Van Der Sluijs.
Interview follows a fiercely intelligent influencer turned movie star's encounter with a jaded political journalist. What unfolds between the pair during one evening in her New York apartment is a volatile game of confession, confrontation, and manipulation.
The creative team will include 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, 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 will play at Riverside Studios from 23 August to 27 September 2025.
