National Theatre Live – On Screen

The Fifth Step

By David Ireland

Directed by Finn den Hertog

After years in the 12-step progrm 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 Soho Theatre on London’s West End.
