Watch Boyko Krastanov and Julian Vergov in “The Fifth Step” on August 26 at the Sofia Summer Fest.
After years spent in Alcoholics Anonymous’ 12-step program, James becomes a mentor to newcomer Luka. As they share their similar life experiences, the two gradually grow closer, but when the time comes for the Fifth Step—confession—dangerous truths begin to surface, threatening their fragile friendship.
“The Fifth Step” is a bold, captivating, and irresistibly funny new play by David Ireland, which became one of the biggest hits in the UK in 2025.
