When:
Where: Teatro de Cancún
On 1 November 2026, Teatro de Cancún presents El Quinto Paso, David Ireland’s play directed by Daniel Veronese. Memo Villegas and Arturo Barba play two people whose friendship begins in shared vulnerability and faces a dangerous test of truth.
What the play is about
Luca, played by Memo Villegas, is in recovery through Alcoholics Anonymous. Jaime, played by Arturo Barba, has spent years in the programme and becomes his sponsor. Trust gradually develops between them, and their ability to move forward depends on it.
The fifth step calls for acknowledging one’s wrongdoings. Here, honesty turns out to be capable of damaging relationships as well as bringing people together. The production approaches its difficult subject through dark comedy, following two characters who need one another while testing the limits of their connection.
For an adult audience
The Cancún performance is scheduled for 1 November at 18:00. The ticket listing specifies an age restriction of 18+. Tickets are sold through TusBoletos; check the city, date and seating category. This is theatre about addiction and trust rather than an educational or therapeutic meeting.
