The Fifth Step is a gripping new play by David Ireland that delves into the complexities of recovery and intimacy through the lens of Alcoholics Anonymous. Directed by Finn den Hertog, this two-hander features Jack Lowden as Luka, a newcomer seeking guidance, and Sean Gilder as James, a seasoned AA member. As they navigate their pasts and the twelve steps, the play explores themes of shame and redemption. The production opens at the Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh following its preview performances in Dundee and will also tour to Glasgow after the Edinburgh International Festival.

Review: THE FIFTH STEP, Pavilion Theatre
August 29, 2024 Thirty something Luka is new to Alcoholics Anonymous and looking for a sponsor. James is older, has been in the programme for years, surely he’s the perfect person to shepherd the younger man through each of the twelve steps on the road to recovery. Or maybe life just isn’t that simple.
