The Fifth Step

by David Ireland | directed by Finn den Hertog

 Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden (Slow HorsesDunkirk) is joined by Emmy and BAFTA-winner Martin Freeman (The HobbitThe Responder) in the critically acclaimed and subversively funny new play by David Ireland.

 After years in the 12-step programme of Alcoholics Anonymous, James becomes a sponsor to newcomer Luka. The pair bond over black coffee, trade stories and build a fragile friendship out of their shared experiences. But as Luka approaches step five – the moment of confession – dangerous truths emerge, threatening the trust on which both of their recoveries depend.

Finn den Hertog directs the provocative and entertaining production filmed live from @sohoplace on London’s West End.
