Description

Time scrambles, and Jenny and Sam (Wittrock), her physics professor husband, are entertaining another couple. The final twist reveals the answer to whatever’s been happening at 2:22 each night, it was unexpected and gained gasps from the audience; I almost want to go back and watch it again, to trace the clues! The various London casts have often featured some left-field choices, but here we are largely in the time-honoured touring realm of faces recognisable from TV.

Following the successful run at the Noël Coward, it was announced the play would transfer to the Gielgud Theatre, running from 4 December 2021 to 12 February 2022. The sound design includes a sassy Alexa and a baby monitor although a slight criticism of the sound design would be the loud ‘red herring’ fox noises; used as a shock factor the audio is very intrusive and seemingly unrealistic. Having seen it in the west end, I felt the play was poorly written and any real suspense was lacking and not really much action in the first play and the ending was weird and unsatisfactory. In one of the most chilling scenes, absolutely nothing happens yet the grand old room is electric with the fear of expectation". When playwright Danny Robins wrote “ 2:22 A Ghost Story,” he thought he chose the titular number at random.A holistic solution for event organizers to market and manage their token-gated events, all in one place.

The couple hosts a dinner party for Lauren, an old university friend of Sam's, and Ben, her new boyfriend who has a belief in the supernatural.No Spoily Woileys from me of course, but it's essentially a character study with a 80 minute build and a 10 minute gut punch that will make you think, and then be equally horrified with the payoff.

The role of Lauren is almost the audience’s representative on stage, trying to decide what is real and what isn’t, Beatriz plays wonderfully against James Buckley. Sam and Ben instantly clash and it’s clear that Jen and Sam are also having difficulties, leading to increasing tensions that don’t just stem from the potential ghostly happenings. Understudy Ben Cutler performed the role for the first four shows before Jake Wood reprised his role as Ben from January 26-April 23, 2023.Jenny and Sam have just moved into their new house with baby Phoebe and have invited Lauren and Ben round for housewarming dinner.
