Two men. One room.
Luka is new to AA.
James has agreed to be his sponsor.
What begins as a ritual of confession becomes a volatile struggle for power. Darkly funny and emotionally charged, The Fifth Step explores addiction, masculinity, faith, and the fragile line between guidance and control.
Studio 180 Theatre (Four Minutes Twelve Seconds, You Will Remember Me) presents the North American premiere of David Ireland’s gripping theatrical showdown.
“Ferociously funny and disarmingly honest.”
