New production images have been unveiled for *Clarkston*, currently playing at the [Trafalgar Theatre](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/trafalgar-theatre-london) in the West End.
Making his West End debut, WhatsOnStage Award-winner **Joe Locke** leads the cast, joined by **Ruaridh Mollica** and **Sophie Melville** in this limited-run play by **Samuel D Hunter.** The production is directed by **Jack Serio.**
*Clarkston* tells the story of Jake, a young man heading west in search of purpose, who meets Chris while working a night shift at a Costco in a quiet American town. As their bond deepens, the pair begin to envision a different life together, exploring themes of connection, hope, and self-discovery.
**Hunter**’s acclaimed works include *The Whale*, *A Case for the Existence of God* and *A Bright New Boise*. This West End staging follows his recent collaboration with **Serio** on *Grangeville* in New York. *Clarkston* is one of our [top five shows to watch this autumn](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/news/top-5-west-end-shows-for-autumn-winter-that-you-can-book-for-now).
