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.

Adult £15, Friend £12. Booking required.

Bar opens at 6.30pm with shows starting at 7pm.

Fancy a bite to eat before the show? Café Tullie will be open for our National Theatre Live Supper Club, serving two courses for £20 alongside a range of snacks and drinks. See the menu here.
