2:22 A Ghost Story in London
Danny Robins' popular ghost story is slick, chilling and genuinely scary. After five record-breaking seasons at the Noël Coward, Gielgud, Criterion, Lyric Theatre and Apollo Theatres, this spooky critically acclaimed play has become a must-see theatre event in the West End and on tour. 2:22 - A Ghost Story heads to the Gielgud Theatre for a limited run from May 2024.
Why you should see 2:22 A Ghost Story
- The play masterfully combines suspense, psychological thrills, and supernatural elements, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.
- 2:22 A Ghost Story has a tight, engaging script filled with unexpected twists and turns.
About 2:22 - A Ghost Story
2:22 is written by the brilliant Danny Robins, award winner and the man behind the smash BBC podcast The Battersea Poltergeist. There’s a mystery at the heart of this play and you’ll be presented with the clues you need to figure it out. The results are both funny and intriguing as well as stacked with adrenaline. Secrets emerge; ghosts might or might not turn up. What do you believe? You’ll need to be brave to uncover the truth.
Something strange and scary is happening...
Jenny thinks her new house is haunted. Her husband Sam doesn’t believe a word of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, their old friend Lauren and her new partner Ben. As belief and cynicism clash, something definitely feels wrong. There’s something strange and frightening, and it’s getting closer. They decide to stay up until 2:22 am and see what happens. As you can imagine, this is an adult play with frightening themes, not for the faint-hearted.
The premiere was nominated for three 2022 Laurence Olivier Awards, including Best New Play and Best Actress for Lily Allen. It was nominated for four WhatsOnStage Awards, winning Best New Play, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor. And it has wowed audiences ever since.
2:22 A Ghost Story cast and creatives
The cast for the latest run includes Donna Air (Hollyoaks, Hotel Babylon, A Dinner of Herbs) as Lauren, James Buckley (Jay Carwright in the multi-award winning series The Inbetweeners) as Ben, back in the West End for the first time since playing in Les Miserables as a child, respected documentary presenter Stacey Dooley as Jenny and Joe MacFadden, (Rent, Rainbow Kiss, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) as Sam.
The creative team remains the same: set design by Anna Fleischle, costume design by Cindy Lin, lighting design by Lucy Carter, sound by Ian Dickinson for Autograph Sound, Casting by Jessica Ronane CDG and Illusions by Chris Fisher. The fight directors are Rachel Bown-Williams & Ruth Cooper-Brown Of RC-Annie, and the show is produced by Tristan Baker and Charlie Parsons for Runaway Entertainment, Isobel David and Kater Gordon.
Whether you're a fan of horror, drama, or simply enjoy a well-crafted narrative, 2:22 A Ghost Story is a must-see production that promises to leave a lasting impression.

Whether you’re an avid believer of ghosts or not – this is such a surprisingly fun story that it’s hard not to get sucked into the storyline.

Not for the nervy!Written well with believable characters and well acted. Music, sound effects and lighting are very atmospheric but not great for jumpy people. Only downside is the music and sound effects are far too loud. My hearing isn’t great and I found it painful. My ears are still hurting a day later.
