The cast of 2:22

An award-winning supernatural thriller, 2:22 – A Ghost Story, has returned to the West End, delivering edge-of-your-seat excitement to audiences at the Criterion Theatre, Piccadilly. Written by award-winning writer Danny Robinson, who created the BBC podcast The Battersea Poltergeist, it’s ghost story theatre at its best, full of intrigue and mystery as well as humour.

What’s the story?

Jenny believes her new home is haunted. At exactly 2:22am each night she hears someone moving around, often via the baby monitor in her child’s bedroom. But her husband Sam isn’t convinced and offers alternative explanations. When they host their first dinner party with their friends Lauren and Ben, the four argue…and something feels strange and frightening. The only way to be sure if Jenny is right is for them all to stay up until 2:22am.

This adrenaline-filled night reveals plenty of secrets – but will ghosts appear? Featuring an all-new cast, it’s an exciting ghost experience you won’t forget in a hurry. Let’s meet the new cast members.
