About 2:22 A Ghost Story

Jenny is certain that her new house is haunted, but her husband Sam thinks it’s all in her head.

Packed with shocks to make you jump, unexpected twists and a surprise ending that’s a closely guarded secret, “modern classic” (Sunday Time) 2:22 has kept almost 700,000 people glued to their seats across five West End theatres, a successful UK tour and international date in Los Angeles and Melbourne since premiering in 2021; and been nominated for the Best New Play Olivier Award.
