Saw a live broadcast in a cinema of a National Theatre (London) production of “The Fifth Step” starring Martin Freeman (from The Responder, Sherlock, Breeders, The Hobbit) and Jack Lowden (from Slow Horses, The Gold). Since I’m in Australia I watched it after lunch. This has incredible acting on display. Very little props and no set, just two guys going at it. It’s about a young man going to AA and getting advice from a sponsor as he attempts to go through the 12 steps. That description makes it sound rather issuesy, but it’s actually very funny. The topics of conversation are quite edgy and controversial at times but it is all handled well. I won’t go into too much detail beyond that or I’ll end up giving spoilers. I will be trying to find a way to watch this again after the theatre run has ended because it was one of my favourite things ever.
