Congratulations to Joe Locke who has been cast in new Netflix show, Heartstopper!
Joe Locke is a promising young actor from the Isle of Man. He took part in the National Theatre Connections 2020 play Dungeness at the Youth Arts Centre which explored LGBTQ+ issues and was very positively received. We were delighted to hear of Joe’s recent casting news starring in a new Netflix show called ‘Heartstopper’. We wish Joe the best of luck with this exciting new venture.

"We knew we were being pitched something incredible the first time See-Saw introduced us to the creator and artist/writer behind Heartstopper, Alice Oseman. It was clear right away that Alice not only had created these brilliant and emotionally engaging characters, but the world they populated was relatable yet somehow aspirational. The whole thing is just so poignant and beautifully crafted. To tell a love story between two boys who meet at school involves such vision and creative focus, Alice has absolutely delivered this here."
