Producer Runaway Entertainment has announced that the critically acclaimed, smash hit, supernatural thriller 2:22 – A GHOST STORY will transfer theatres for a record-breaking 5th time – and its sixth season – to the Apollo Theatre in London’s West End, where it will play an 18-week season from 14 May 2023.
No other play has ever transferred this many times within a two year period.
The current cast includes Cheryl, Jake Wood, Louise Ford and Scott Karim, who will end their run at the Lyric Theatre on 23 April.
Casting for the transfer to the Apollo Theatre will be announced soon.
A UK-wide tour begins at Theatre Royal Bath in September 2023 and continues through to May 2024. Cast for the touring production is also to be announced.
2:22 – A GHOST STORY is written by award-winning writer Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcasts The Battersea Poltergeist and Uncanny, and is directed by Matthew Dunster.
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, costume design by Cindy Lin, lighting design by Lucy Carter, sound by Ian Dickinson for Autograph Sound, illusions by Chris Fisher, casting by Matilda James CDG and co-direction by Gabriel Vega Weissman.
2:22 – A GHOST STORY is produced by Tristan Baker and Charlie Parsons for Runaway Entertainment, Isobel David and Kater Gordon.
