About 2:22 - A Ghost Story
Do you love a properly spooky tale? Make a beeline for 2:22 - A Ghost Story in London. Follow the twists and turns of this spine-tingling story, if you dare.
Danny Robin’s 2:22 - A Ghost Story continues to haunt audiences! Since the first performances at the Noël Coward Theatre, the edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller has taken over the Gielgud Theatre and now the Criterion Theatre.
London Theatre praised the scare factor in the play, saying “2:22 - A Ghost Story to its credit has far more on its mind, including a meditation on the debilitating legacy of loss.” Dare to discover the truth and see this hit play.
When Jenny and Sam move into a new house, Jenny is convinced their new abode is haunted. They argue about whether or not ghosts exist with their first dinner guests — and all four decide to stay up until 2:22am to confront the unknown.
Will you stay up to 2:22am?

More information about 2:22 - A Ghost Story
The 2:22 - A Ghost Story West End production continues a strong tradition of spooky fare in this famous theatre district, including the historic long-runner The Woman in Black, which uses traditional stagecraft to create a terrifying psychological horror experience.
Robins’s play likewise digs into the core questions about our belief, or scepticism of, visitors from the beyond; the plot involves the couple and their first dinner party guests debating a mysterious happening at 2:22am, and deciding to stay up and face it together.
What to Watch For:
- Danny Robins is no stranger to scary happenings. He created the BBC’s Young Dracula series and also two podcasts that examine the supernatural. The Battersea Poltergeist examines a haunting that became national news, with one house beset by loud noises and objects flying around, while Haunted digs into people’s real experiences with ghosts — like a spirit trying to murder a couple’s baby daughter.
- Director Matthew Dunster also has form when it comes to chilling plays. He helmed Martin McDonagh’s A Very Very Dark Matter, about the disturbing world of Hans Christian Andersen, and also McDonagh’s Hangmen, featuring the second-best hangman in England — and a mysterious stranger who wreaks havoc.
- The show features illusions by Chris Fisher. He’s a member of the Magic Circle and made a key contribution to productions like Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Back to the Future: The Musical.
- Also featured among this all-star creative team is designer Anna Fleischle, who collaborated with Matthew Dunster on A Very Very Dark Matter and Hangmen — winning Olivier, Critics’ Circle and Evening Standard Theatre Awards for the latter. She was Olivier nominated again for the play Home, I’m Darling and musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.
