Lyric Theatre
(Piccadilly Circus) Shaftesbury Avenue London

Record-breaking stage hit 2: 22 - A Ghost Story continues its incredible West End run now transferring to the LYRIC THEATRE from 21 January. An all-new cast will feature Cheryl as ‘Jenny’ in her West End debut, starring alongside Hugo Chegwin (People Just do Nothing) as ‘Ben’ and Scott Karim as ‘Sam’. Further casting to be announced.

“It’s happening again…”

Following four star-studded, smash-hit seasons (at the Noel Coward, Gielgud and Criterion Theatre), three Olivier Nominations including Best New Play, and winning the Best New Play category in the Whatsonstage awards, this edge-of-your-seat, supernatural thriller returns once again for a limited engagement booking until 23 April 2023.

2:22 is written by award-winning writer Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcast The Battersea Poltergeist, and is directed by Matthew Dunster.

“THERE’S SOMETHING IN OUR HOUSE. I HEAR IT EVERY NIGHT, AT THE SAME TIME"

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.

Review: 2:22 A GHOST STORY at Ahmanson Theatre
by Harker Jones - Nov 7, 2022


It doesn’t help that director Matthew Dunster plays much of Danny Robins’ script for laughs when it could have been amping up some suspense. It would have been more cohesive and had a bigger impact if it hadn’t played as a comedy for most of its 2-hour run time, though it wouldn’t have been enough to make the story land.

BWW Review: 2:22 - A GHOST STORY, Noel Coward Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 12, 2021


“Perception is a choice!” Sam concludes in his pedantic and condescending tirade about ghosts and “the unexplainable”. Frustratingly, the remarks of such an insolent, smart, and snobbish man keep ringing true to the logical crowd. It’s quite difficult to stage a properly frightening show in a theatre, and that’s perhaps the reason behind Danny Robins’s brand new play 2:22 - A Ghost Story being referred to as a “supernatural thriller” rather than any other horror-related genre.

BWW Interview: Hadley Fraser on 2:22 - A GHOST STORY at the Noel Coward Theatre
by Matt Wolf - Jul 16, 2021


Hadley Fraser some while ago established himself as one of the most protean actors around: a talent equally at home both in big-name musicals (Les Mis, Young Frankenstein) and Shakespeare (playing Aufidius to Tom Hiddleston’s Coriolanus and Polixenes in The Winter’s Tale, alongside Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench). Now, with theatre in the capital kickstarting anew, Fraser is due to open Aug 11 at the Noel Coward Theatre in 2: 22 – A Ghost Story, which is that modern-day rarity – a stage thriller.

by Stephi Wild - Jun 10, 2021


Jenny (Lily Allen) believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam (Hadley Fraser) isn't having any of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, old friend Lauren (Julia Chan) and new partner Ben (Jake Wood). 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.
