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 andsubversively 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 andbuild 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.
