2.22 – A Ghost Story is written by award-winning writer Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcast The Battersea Poltergeist and Uncanny and it is directed by Matthew Dunster. Intriguing, funny and scary, it takes audiences into one adrenaline-fueled night where secrets will emerge and ghosts may appear….What do you believe? And do you dare to discover the truth?
“There’s something in our house. I hear it every night, at the same time.”
Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam isn’t having any of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, old friend Lauren and her new partner Ben. Can the dead really walk again? Belief and scepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer, so they are going to stay up… until 2.22am… and then they will know.
Danny Robins said ‘I am thrilled with this 6th cast for 2:22 A Ghost Story. Each set of actors we’ve had brings their own distinctive talents to the production and so I can’t wait to see my spooky play continue its amazing West End life with this very talented group, and it’s so overwhelming to think that we’re breaking records along the way. Although we’re only moving next door, it’s quite the journey we are on, and we look forward to spooking a whole new set of audiences over the next few months. Who cares if it’s meant to be Spring – 2:22 will chill you to the bone!”
