“You have this idea in your head of the person you could be”
Here is a behind-the-scenes look at rehearsals for the UK premiere of Clarkston by critically acclaimed writer Samuel D. Hunter (Oscar-winning and BAFTA nominated film The Whale), ahead of its highly anticipated and strictly limited nine week run at Trafalgar Theatre.
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.
Joe Locke will make his West End debut in the production starring opposite Ruaridh Mollica, with Sophie Melville. Drama Desk and Obie award-winner Jack Serio will direct.
Clarkston is a modern frontier story that blazes a trail through friendship, acceptance, love and the hope of new discoveries.
Trafalgar Theatre, 14 Whitehall London, SW1A 2DY from 17 September – 22 November.
