From the screen to the stage!

After charming millions as Charlie Spring in the hit Netflix series, the Emmy Award-winning actor is making his long-awaited West End debut in the UK premiere of Clarkston, a deeply moving play by acclaimed American playwright Samuel D. Hunter. Official dates and venue are yet to be announced.

About The Show

Set in the breakroom of a Costco in present-day Washington State, the play introduces us to two young men struggling with the loneliness, limitations, and longing of small-town life. Jake strikes up an unlikely friendship with Chris, a reserved, quietly ambitious aspiring writer with a complicated home life and dreams of escaping through education. Together, they form a bond, one that they hope will help them navigate their tumultuous lives.

Clarkston is written by Samuel D. Hunter, best known for The Whale, the play that inspired the Oscar-winning film starring Brendan Fraser.
