The cast of Heartstopper reveal ‘fun facts’ about Joe Locke at Clarkston opening night in London

Last night marked the official opening for the UK premiere of Clarkston at the Trafalgar Theatre.

WhatsOnStage Award winner Joe Locke is currently making his West End debut in the Samuel D Hunter drama, alongside Ruaridh Mollica and Sophie Melville, and a bunch of his castmates from the hit Netflix series Heartstopper were on hand to show their support.

We caught up with his TV friends to find out as many “fun facts” about the popular performer as we could and you can watch the highlights below:

Clarkston follows Jake, a young man travelling west in search of meaning, who crosses paths with Chris during a night shift at a Costco in a small American town. As their relationship grows, they begin to imagine a new future.

The production’s creative team includes set and costume designer Milla Clarke, lighting designer Stacey Derosier, sound designer George Dennis, casting director Stuart Burt and dramaturg John Baker.

Clarkston runs until 22 November 2025, with tickets on sale below.
