Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden ("Slow Horses;" "Dunkirk") is joined by Emmy and BAFTA-winner Martin Freeman ("The Responder;" "Sherlock") in the critically acclaimed and subversively funny new play.

After years in the 12-step programm 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.
