Following a triumphant premiere at the Edinburgh International Festival, David Ireland's captivating play The Fifth Step arrives in the West End this year for a limited 11-week run at @sohoplace. The gripping two-hander stars Olivier Award-winner Jack Lowden, reprising his role as Luka, alongside Emmy and BAFTA Award-winner Martin Freeman as James. Directed in an in-the-round setting by Finn den Hertog, the work invites audiences into the raw and revealing world of two men navigating addiction and recovery.

It's 1997, and the stakes in international diplomacy have never been higher. The impossible is about to become reality in Kyoto, described by Beyond the Curtain as a production that "challenges, questions, and sometimes makes you uncomfortable". It reveals the stark truth of climate politics and brings the intense negotiations of the 1997 Kyoto climate summit to life in a way never seen on stage. After a knock-out premiere in Stratford-upon-Avon, the 2025 Olivier-nominated Kyoto now invites you to take a seat at the table for a highly-anticipated 16-week run at London's @sohoplace.
