Jimmy is a struggling actor on the cusp of a big break auditioning for Mel Gibson’s new film (which may or may not be IRA propaganda); Eddie is a footballer playing for Celtic in Glasgow, despite being a Protestant and sporting a Rangers tattoo.

Review: THE FIFTH STEP is hilarious, sharp and hits you in the gut
by Faeron Wheeler - Sep 12, 2026
THE FIFTH STEP is one of those plays that makes you laugh before hitting you with real emotion. The writing and the characters created by David Ireland are superb. And the Baxter team that brought them to life have more than risen to the occasion.
