Emmy‑nominated Heartstopper star Joe Locke leads Clarkston, a UK West End debut by Whale’s writer—award‑winning, deeply poignant, strictly limited season only.

A new West End premiere from acclaimed playwright Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale)—Clarkston is a modern‑frontier American play that connects with families, history buffs & drama lovers.

Emmy‑nominated Joe Locke (Heartstopper, Agatha All Along) leads with co‑stars Ruaridh Mollica and Sophie Melville; directed by Jack Serio (Drama Desk & Obie winner).

With pared‑down staging and raw emotion, Clarkston threads identity, belonging and hope through two men in rural America. Its honesty and heart anchor the story.

Under Costco fluorescents and minimalist set, Clarkston makes every breath and silence count. Clarkston london tickets are vanishing fast.

Jake sets out from New England on a road‑trip west across dusty small towns and highways, seeking a fresh start. One late night at the local Costco he meets Chris, a quiet soul stacking shelves, and the two spark a bond built on shared hopes, unspoken pain and the boundary between belonging and loss. As seasons shift, their friendship becomes a quiet act of bravery, rooted in identity and acceptance. What will happen when the trail runs cold and dreams meet reality…?
