'An Interrogation' is a riveting 70-minute play by Jamie Ballard that follows Detective Ruth Palmer as she investigates a kidnapping case. Set in a tight timeframe, the urgency is palpable with Joanna having been missing for 68 hours. Ruth, despite being exploited by her male boss, uses clever tactics reminiscent of Columbo to win over the seemingly calm suspect, Cameron. The production, receiving acclaim from its Edinburgh Fringe run, utilizes live-stream elements for added tension, though it risks comparisons to more polished TV shows like 'Line of Duty'.
Director Jamie Armitage's play focuses on the urgent, pivotal moments of an interrogation, challenging gender dynamics and suspensefully presenting the investigation of a kidnapping case.
The production cleverly employs real-time elements, making the audience feel the pressure of the investigation as Detective Ruth navigates her boss's manipulation and her own vulnerabilities.
