DESCRIPTION:

DAVID IRELAND’S “THE FIFTH STEP”

Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden joins Emmy and BAFTA winner Martin Freeman in David Ireland’s critically acclaimed, darkly funny new play. After years in AA, James becomes a sponsor to newcomer Luka, and the two form a fragile bond over shared struggles. But as Luka nears the crucial step of confession, unsettling truths surface, testing the trust their recoveries rely on. Directed by Finn den Hertog, this provocative production was filmed live from @sohoplace in London’s West End.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

A Trivial Comedy for Serious People. Max Webster (Donmar’s Macbeth; Life of Pi) directs a joyful and flamboyant reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s most celebrated comedy. Olivier Award-winner Sharon D Clarke (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom; Doctor Who) is joined by Ncuti Gatwa (Doctor Who; Sex Education) and Hugh Skinner (W1A; Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again) in this hilarious story of identity, impersonation and romance.
