TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE HERE

Runaway Entertainment today have released new production images for the UK tour of Danny Robins’ edge-of-your-seat, supernatural thriller 2:22 - A Ghost Story. The brand new cast for the second leg of the tour includes Vera Chok (Hollyoaks, Cobra) as Lauren, Jay McGuiness (The Wanted, BIG! The Musical, Rip It Up) as Ben, George Rainsford (Call the Midwife, Casualty) as Sam and Fiona Wade (Emmerdale, Silent Witness) will play Jenny.

This current tour began previews at Northampton’s Royal & Derngate Theatre on 5 January 2024 with press night taking place on 10 January, and the cast will perform in venues across the UK until 8 June 2024. 

Written by award-winning writer Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcast The Battersea Poltergeist, and directed by Matthew Dunster and Isabel Marr; 2:22 is an adrenaline-filled night where secrets emerge and ghosts may, or may not, appear…

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.

“A slick, chilling, romp of a play” The Guardian
