Interview review: A thrilling game of Kat and mouse
Texts, social media alerts, phone calls and voice notes ping on to the white brickwork of the ‘Kat Cave’, Katya’s fashionable New York apartment. Her world is dominated, and her worth defined, by these notifications. They tower over her on the walls of her home, inserting themselves into her inner sanctum. Wherever she is they follow her, and she must be prepared. After all, ‘if you lose the narrative, you lose the leverage.’
Adapted from the 2003 Dutch film, Interview follows Katya, an influencer turned actress, and Pierre, a war correspondent turned reluctant entertainment journalist, as they spar, seduce and scheme their way toward the truth (or at least their version of it).
It is the first time this story has been brought to the stage, and it feels more urgent here than on screen. Katya’s entire existence already plays out as a performance, so to watch her command an actual stage blurs the line between life and theatre even further. Updating the 22-year-old story to the digital age sharpens the script to a killer point. When the film premiered, Facebook was a year away, Twitter three, Instagram seven. Now, Katya can reach her followers in a heartbeat via Instagram Live. Unlike before, every half-truth or slip of the tongue risks instant exposure and cancellation.
