NT Live brings the best of British theatre to your cinema screen. Each production gives you the best seats in the house by filming theatre in front of a live audience to make you feel like you are there!

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 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.

RUN TIME: 87 Mins (there is no interval for this release)

This screening is rated 15 - admission will not be granted to anyone under this age.
