About Clarkston

Emmy-nominated actor Joe Locke, known for his roles in Netflix’s Heartstopper and Marvel’s Agatha All Along, will make his London West End debut this Autumn in the UK premiere of Clarkston.

The play, written by Samuel D. Hunter, the mind behind the Oscar-winning The Whale, marks a highly anticipated addition to the season. The production also stars Ruaridh Mollica (Sebastian, The Franchise) and Sophie Melville (The Way, Iphigenia in Splott). The production will be directed by Jack Serio, the Drama Desk and Obie Award winner celebrated for his critically acclaimed staging of Uncle Vanya at The Loft.

Clarkston tells the story of Jake, a man traveling west in search of renewal, who crosses paths with Chris, a kindred spirit working the graveyard shift at a Costco in rural America. As their bond grows, the two embark on a journey echoing that of Lewis and Clark, seeking connection and purpose in an uncertain world.
