National Theatre Live: The Fifth Step

Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk) joins Emmy and BAFTA-winner Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Responder) in David Ireland’s critically acclaimed and darkly funny new play.
After years in Alcoholics Anonymous, James becomes a sponsor to newcomer Luka. The two bond over black coffee and shared confessions, building a fragile friendship grounded in recovery. But as Luka nears step five—the moment of truth—secrets surface that could shatter the trust between them.
Directed by Finn den Hertog, this provocative and gripping production was filmed live from @sohoplace in London’s West End.
