The Fifth Step
by David
Ireland

directed by
Finn den Hertog

Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk)
is joined by Emmy and BAFTA-winner Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The
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.
