Clarkston
“You have this idea in your head of the person you could be”
Joe Locke (Heartstopper, Agatha All Along) “shines” (The Times) in a stunning new production of CLARKSTON – a “funny and touching” (The Telegraph), emotionally intimate play by critically acclaimed writer Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale), directed by Drama Desk and Obie Award-winner, Jack Serio.
Locke and rising star and BAFTA nominee Ruaridh Mollica “are enchanting in this soulful exploration of young adulthood” (Radio Times). And the “brilliant and multi-layered” (WhatsOnStage) Evening Standard Theatre Award nominee Sophie Melville is “fantastic” (Daily Express).
“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 soulful meditation on the need for connection” (The Telegraph) – a modern frontier story that blazes a trail through friendship, acceptance, love and the hope of new discoveries. “Samuel D. Hunter’s script burns with urgent questions about happiness and identity” (City AM) and “what unfolds is theatrical magic of the most powerful kind” (Queerly).
