Crazy. Host Ngofeen Mputubwele follows the last 72-hours of the play Clarkston before its first preview and learn the tricks to telling a small, intimate story.

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. Featuring critically acclaimed writer Samuel D. Hunter and stars Joe Locke, Ruaridh Mollica, Sophie Melville, and director Jack Serio.
