An Interrogation at Hampstead Theatre review: Rosie Sheehy is utterly compelling A young female detective and a murder suspect play cat and mouse during an interview in this tersely effective debut play from director Jamie Armitage.
When Cameron submits to a voluntary interview John leaves Ruth alone with him and gives her tactical tips: play the rookie card; remove your engagement ring; give ground but don’t give away anything personal.
And it helps immensely that the detective, Ruth, is played by Welsh actress Rosie Sheehy, one of the most quietly compelling stage performers working today.
She lived relatively close to Cameron Andrews (Jamie Ballard), a smooth and comfortable man who looks after his ageing mum, runs a charity, and has a firm advising businesses and “the Exchequer”.
Her bluntly paternal superior officer John (Colm Gormley) is sceptical but in the accepted tradition of boss-to-protégé patronage, he gives her one shot.
