First look images show Joe Locke preparing for his West End debut in Clarkston alongside Ruaridh Mollica and Sophie Melville. Locke rose to fame in Netflix’s Heartstopper and has credits in Agatha All Along, Sweeney Todd on Broadway, and The Trials at the Donmar Warehouse. Clarkston follows Jake (Locke) meeting Chris (Mollica) during a night shift at a rural Costco, with their deepening bond prompting a shared sense of adventure and pursuit of new meaning. The play is described as a modern frontier story about friendship, acceptance, love and hope. Samuel D. Hunter wrote the play and Jack Serio directs, supported by a full creative team.
On a journey West to rediscover himself, Jake (Locke) unexpectedly meets Chris (Mollica) - 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.
First look images have been released showing Heartstopper's Joe Locke in preparation for his West End debut in the play, Clarkston. Locke, who became a household name with the Netflix adaptation of Alice Oseman's web-comic has also starred in Marvel's Agatha All Along, as well as having a stint on Broadway in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. He also had a role in The Trials at the Donmar Warehouse in 2022.
When Locke was announced in the cast in July, the 21-year-old actor said he was "thrilled" to join the production. "Samuel D. Hunter's writing is so deeply human and honest that I immediately connected with the play when I read it. I can't wait to bring this beautiful story to life and share it with audiences in London," he also said.
