A woman is missing and a young detective works against the clock as she questions a suspect. He's a devoted son, a successful businessman, a respectable member of society and he looks the least likely person to be linked with a murder. 

What if she's got this all wrong?

But what if she's got it right?

Inspired by real events, An Interrogation is written by Jamie Armitage (co-director of Six: The Musical) and has us on the edge of our seats from start to finish.

Jamie Ballard plays Cameron Andrews, casually brought in for questioning on a Sunday morning under the guise of 'helping the police with their enquiries'. He builds nicely throughout, from charming to disgruntled.

Ruth played by Bethan Cullinane is the cop questioning him. Her shy demeanor reeling in the trust of her accused, but her underlying determination apparent. 

It's a great script. We are kept guessing right until the last moment, switching constantly between who we think is telling the truth. Don't worry, we're not giving any spoilers away, Besties!

A genuinely gripping portrayal.                                

***** Five stars
