Joanna Nelson has been missing for sixty-eight hours, and Detective Constable Ruth Palmer’s hopes of finding her alive are fading fast.
Searching for answers, the young detective sits down to interview someone who might be able to help. He’s a devoted son, a successful businessman and a respectable member of society. But as the minutes slip away, the detective starts to suspect that all is not what it seems...
Inspired by real events, An Interrogation is a nail-biting, nerve-shredding exploration of justice and deception. It received a critically acclaimed, sold-out run at the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and transferred to Hampstead Theatre Downstairs, London, in 2025.
Jamie Armitage was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical for his work as co-director on the worldwide phenomenon SIX: The Musical. This is his debut play.
