Cast announcement for 2:22 A GHOST STORY at Apollo Theatre

Casting has been announced for the fifth West End transfer of Danny Robins’ edge-of-your-seat, supernatural thriller 2:22 - A Ghost Story, which will move from the Lyric to the Apollo from 14 May.

No other play has ever transferred in the West End this many times within a two year period. During its run at the Lyric it broke the record for box office weekly takings for a play 5 times! For the Apollo run, US actress Sophia Bush (One Tree Hill) will play Lauren, with Ricky Champ (Eastenders) as Ben, Clifford Samuel (McMafia) as Dan and Jaime Winstone (Kidulthood) as Jenny.

2.22 - A Ghost Story is written by award-winning writer Danny Robins and is directed by Matthew Dunster. Intriguing, funny and scary, it takes audiences into one adrenaline-fueled night where secrets will emerge and ghosts may appear….What do you believe? And do you dare to 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 her 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 are going to stay up… until 2.22am… and then they will know.

Danny Robins said: “I am thrilled with this 6th cast for 2:22 A Ghost Story. Each set of actors we’ve had brings their own distinctive talents to the production and so I can’t wait to see my spooky play continue its amazing West End life with this very talented group, and it’s so overwhelming to think that we’re breaking records along the way. Although we’re only moving next door, it’s quite the journey we are on, and we look forward to spooking a whole new set of audiences over the next few months. Who cares if it’s meant to be Spring - 2:22 will chill you to the bone!”

2:22 - A Ghost Story features set design by Anna Fleischle, with costumes by Cindy Lin, lighting by Lucy Carter, sound by Ian Dickinson for Autograph Sound, casting by Matilda James, CDG, and illusions by Chris Fisher.
