Brand new artwork and other details confirmed for the UK premiere of Samuel D. Hunter’s play.
As well as new artwork, dates and West End theatre has now been announced for the upcoming UK premiere of the play.
It has been announced that Clarkston will run at the Trafalgar Theatre from the 17th September until the 22nd November, for a limited nine week run.
Directed by Jack Serio, the production is set to star Joe Locke (Emmy Award-nominated Heartstopper; Marvel’s Agatha All Along; Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Broadway) will make his West End debut in the production starring opposite Ruaridh Mollica (BIFA nominated for Sebastian; The Franchise, HBO) with Sophie Melville (The Way, BBC; Cowbois, RSC/ Royal Court; Evening Standard Award nominated for Iphigenia in Splott, Lyric Hammersmith).
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.
Tickets for the production are on sale for priority bookers now, with tickets going on general sale tomorrow (22nd July) at 10am.
Clarkston was initially seen as part of a double bill of plays at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater in 2018.
The creative team behind the production includes: set and costume designer Milla Clarke, lighting designer Stacey Derosier, sound designer George Dennis, casting director Stuart Burt and dramaturg John Baker.
