Presented by Original Theatre Online in association with Park Theatre, Jonathan Maitland’s play The Interview will be available to stream online from 21 December, following its recent stage premiere.

On 20 November 1995, the BBC broadcast an interview between Diana, Princess of Wales and Martin Bashir. It was watched by hundreds of millions worldwide. But now, it is said, the interview has no legitimacy. Is it right that the way it came about has overshadowed what it was meant to be?

This powerful new play by writer and broadcaster Jonathan Maitland and directed by Olivier Award nominated Michael Fentiman gives an insight into the story behind the interview: the woman who gave it, the man who made it happen and the institution that broadcast it.

The Interview stars Matthew Flynn as Paul Burrell, Tibu Fortes as Martin Bashir, Naomi Frederick as Luciana, Yolanda Kettle as Diana, Princess of Wales and Ciarán Owens as Matt Wiesler.
