2:22 A Ghost Story

Closing: April 23, 2023

2:22 A Ghost Story - 2023 West End History , Info & More

Lyric Theatre
(Piccadilly Circus) Shaftesbury Avenue London

Record-breaking stage hit 2: 22 - A Ghost Story continues its incredible West End run now transferring to the LYRIC THEATRE from 21 January. An all-new cast will feature Cheryl as ‘Jenny’ in her West End debut, starring alongside Hugo Chegwin (People Just do Nothing) as ‘Ben’ and Scott Karim as ‘Sam’. Further casting to be announced.

“It’s happening again…”

Following four star-studded, smash-hit seasons (at the Noel Coward, Gielgud and Criterion Theatre), three Olivier Nominations including Best New Play, and winning the Best New Play category in the Whatsonstage awards, this edge-of-your-seat, supernatural thriller returns once again for a limited engagement booking until 23 April 2023.

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.

“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 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.

Review: 2:22 A GHOST STORY, Festival Theatre, Edinburgh
by Mary Baillie - Sep 29, 2023


If you go to 2:22 A Ghost Story expecting traditional spine-chilling phantoms, you will be disappointed. Renouned in the West End for starry casts and numerous awards, 2:22 A Ghost Story isn't really a ghost story at all. Far from the horror genre one might expect, the piece is more of an amusing but long-winded exploration of how we define ghosts and how we view ghost believers... with the occasional jumpscare.
