2.22 - A GHOST STORY to transfer to Lyric Theatre for fifth season from January 2023

The critically acclaimed, smash hit, supernatural thriller 2:22 - A Ghost Story will transfer theatres for a fourth time  - and its fifth season - to The Lyric Theatre where it will play a 13 week season opening on 21 January 2023.

Going from strength to strength, the Lyric will be the biggest house the production has played in to date.

Currently playing at the Criterion Theatre, the cast includes Laura Whitmore, Matt Willis, Felix Scott and Tamsin Carroll who continue until this run ends on 8 January. Cast for the transfer to the Lyric Theatre will be announced soon. 

2:22 is written by award-winning writer Danny Robins and is directed by Matthew Dunster.

Danny Robins said: I can't tell you how much joy I get from seeing the audience's response to our show. It seemed a crazy risk when we first brought this brand new play straight into the West End at the height of the pandemic over a year ago, I keep pinching myself about the fact that we are still playing to packed houses. Each theatre, and each cast brings something new and thrilling to the experience, and I'm really excited to be moving to the Lyric, our biggest house yet. Look out for the cast announcement coming soon as the 2:22 journey continues.”

What do you believe? And do you dare discover the truth?

“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.

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 and illusions by Chris Fisher.
