2.22 A GHOST STORY announces 18 week extended run at Criterion Theatre

It has been announced that the critically acclaimed, smash hit, supernatural thriller 2:22 - A Ghost Story will extend its run at The Criterion Theatre, now playing until 8 January 2023.

The current West End cast features Tom Felton as Sam, Mandip Gill as Jenny, Beatriz Romilly as Lauren and Sam Swainsbury as Ben. Cast details for the extended run after 4 September will be announced soon. 

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…

Danny Robins said: “When this play opened in the summer of 2021 I couldn't have dreamed that we'd be where we are now - in our third West End theatre, planning our fourth season! With each run, it’s been so great to see our new casts make it their own, and I'm so delighted that this modern ghost story of mine keeps connecting with audiences. I hope it's more than just a play, it's an exciting, adrenaline-filled night out that will have you laughing and jumping in equal measure and then you'll spend the rest of the night talking about it with your mates, trying to crack the mystery! Do ghosts really exist? There's only one way to find out - get yourself down to the Criterion to see 2:22!”

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 something is getting closer, so they’re going to stay up... until 2:22... and then they’ll know.

2:22 - A Ghost Story features set design by Anna Fleischle, costumes by Cindy Lin, lighting by Lucy Carter, sound by Ian Dickinson for Autograph Sound, casting by Jessica Ronane CDG, illusions by Chris Fisher, and co-direction by Isabel Marr.

Last week the Center Theatre Group announced the US premiere of 2:22 A Ghost Story at the Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles where it will run from 29 October-4 December.
