Debuting in Scotland's theatres in 2024, David Ireland 's play The Fifth Step , produced by the National Theatre of Scotland , transferred to London's West End for an eleven-week run in summer 2025. It was during this time in London that the show was captured live for National Theatre Live . The filmed performance will be shown in cinemas across the globe from 27th November 2025.
