2:22 A Ghost Story

Booking Info

The West End theatre event of the year will return this summer by popular demand. With an all new star cast featuring TOM FELTON, MANDIP GILL, BEATRIZ ROMILLY AND SAM SWAINSBURY, this edge-of-your-seat, supernatural thriller will open at the Criterion Theatre on 7th May.

Winner of 3 Whatsonstage Awards including BEST NEW PLAY and recently nominated for 3 Olivier Awards including BEST NEW PLAY, this new limited engagement follows two record-breaking West End seasons at the Noël Coward and Gielgud Theatres.

2:22 is written by award-winning writer Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcast The Battersea Poltergeist, and is directed by Matthew Dunster. Look out for the clues to unlock the mystery in this brilliantly funny and intriguing play; it’s an adrenaline-filled night where secrets emerge and ghosts may or may not appear… What do you believe? And do you dare discover the truth?

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 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’re going to stay up… until 2:22… and then they’ll know.
