Tony Award winner Robert Sean Leonard and Paten Hughes to star in world premiere play Interview

Robert Sean Leonard and Paten Hughes are set to lead a new play in London.

Interview is based on Theo van Gogh’s 2003 film with a screenplay by Theodor Holman. In 2007, it was remade with Steve Buscemi.

The psychological thriller follows influencer turned movie star Katya, who is sick of being misrepresented by male journalists. When she is interviewed by fading political journalist Pierre Peters in her New York apartment, it spirals into a game of confession, confrontation, and manipulation.

This stage piece is adapted and directed by Teunkie Van Der Sluijs.

It’ll feature 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 and Wayne Linge for Crampsie Linge Casting. Interview is general managed by Smart Entertainment and produced Douglas Denoff, with co-producers Kevin Kinsella, Alexander “Sandy” Marshall and Broadway Rainbows.

Interview will play at Riverside Studios from 23 August to 27 September 2025.
