National Theatre on Screen: The Fifth Step [12A]
Finn den Hertog directs the provocative and entertaining production filmed live from @sohoplace on London’s West End
Director: Finn den Hertog
Cast: Martin Freeman, Jack Lowden
Runtime TBC | 2025 | UK
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.
