“You have this idea in your head of the person you could be”

Joe Locke (Heartstopper, Agatha All Along) stars in a stunning new production of CLARKSTON – an emotionally intimate play by critically acclaimed writer Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale), directed by award-winner, Jack Serio.

Joining the cast are rising star and BIFA nominee Ruaridh Mollica and Evening Standard Theatre Award nominee Sophie Melville.

“Maybe we’re like the last American pioneers”

On a journey West to rediscover himself, Jake unexpectedly meets Chris – a kindred soul hiding in a night shift at a Costco in a rural American town. As their bond deepens, so does their sense of adventure. Maybe they could finally give life new meaning by chasing something more – like the intrepid explorers Lewis and Clark before them.

CLARKSTON is a modern frontier story that blazes a trail through friendship, acceptance, love and the hope of new discoveries.
