Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden is joined by Emmy and BAFTA-winnerMartin Freemanin 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. 

Finn den Hertog directs the provocative and entertaining production filmed live from @sohoplace on London’s West End.
