What is 2:22 A Ghost Story about?

Intriguing, funny and scary, 2:22 A Ghost Story takes you into an adrenaline-filled night where you are not sure whether secrets or ghosts will come out next. What do you believe? And do you dare discover the truth?

Jenny is certain that her new home is haunted, she hears it every night at the same time, but her husband Sam won’t even entertain the idea. Their argument extends to 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’re going to stay up… until 2:22… and then they’ll know.

Good show to watch with family

Mellisa Adams

Great cast, great story, great suspense and great humour.

Excellent play. All 4 actors were brilliant and the whole story was superb. It was funny, dramatic and literally had you on the edge of your seats. It was fantastic to see the theatre full and the audience’ s reactions were some of the best I’ve ever experienced. 100% recommended and a great evening out ??

Jonathan Jennings

Me and my 12 11 and 9 year old kids all really enjoyed it. They are pretty well read and the adult language was something we just had to understand as a part of the art. The cast was terrific. The theater and its staff super pleasant. Cheers.

Patricia McGowan

Overall we enjoyed the play - it made me jump in places which was fun. Good set which was well used. However, the reason I only gave it 3 stars - was because Stacy Dolley wasn’t great. She spoke quietly and it was difficult to hear what she was saying ++ she wasn’t a great actress

AMAZING SHOW! Definitely worth it.

Mark Standen

First time at this theatre, loved the location and ambiance of the theatre. Show was really good and well produced. Great cast would highly recommend to all.

Heather Payton

The staging looked good but sadly the acoustics of the theatre, even from row M in the stalls, were such that I was completely unable to follow the plot.
