Posted by Sparks Theatrical Hire on
Following a critically acclaimed, sold-out season in Edinburgh, The Fifth Step makes its West End debut at @sohoplace. Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden reprises his role as Luka, joined by Emmy, BAFTA, and SAG Award-winner Martin Freeman as James in this intense and compelling two-hander.
We’re proud to be supplying the lighting for this production, working closely with lighting designer Lizzie Powell and the lighting team to create the show’s striking atmosphere.

After many years in the 12-step programme of Alcoholics Anonymous, James agrees to become the sponsor of newcomer Luka.
On the journey to sobriety, the pair bond over black coffee, trade stories, and build a fragile friendship out of their shared experiences.
On the cusp of Step 5, their conversations must turn to confessionals, with progress hinging on Luka revealing secrets that could lead back to alcohol. But it’s clear that James also has dangerous truths in his past, truths that threaten the trust on which both their recoveries depend.
Directed intimately in-the-round by Finn den Hertog, The Fifth Step is a provocative, entertaining and subversively funny new play from David Ireland.
