‘Fifth Step’ Coming To W&L Screen Tuesday
W&L’s Lenfest Center’s Outreach & Engagement Series will present National Theatre Live’s Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden (“Slow Horses,” “Dunkirk”) and Emmy and BAFTA-winner Martin Freeman (“The Responder,” “Sherlock”) in the critically acclaimed and subversively funny new play “The Fifth Step,” showing on the Stackhouse cinema screen in Elrod Commons on April 14 at 7:30 p.m.
The running time is 100 minutes, with no interval. The show is rated R.
After years in the 12-step program 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.
Tickets are required. Prices are $20 for general admission and $8 for students. Online ticket sales are available at https://my.wlu.edu/ lenfest-center/inter-alia. Tickets can be bought the night of the performance onsite at the Stackhouse Theater.
