2:22 - A Ghost Story when returns to the King's Theatre following a hugely successful run in 2023 from Monday 25th to Saturday 30th August, tickets are on sale now via www.atgtickets.com

Returning to the role of Jenny following a limited run at the Gielgud Theatre in 2024, Stacey Dooley will perform alongside her partner Kevin Clifton who will play Jenny's husband, Sam. The remaining cast members for the first half of the tour is due to be announced soon. This will be the first time in the history of the play that a 'real life' couple will take on the roles of Jenny and Sam in the production.

Kevin Clifton said: “I'm such a huge fan of 2:22 as a play. I have seen it a number of times and I've wanted to play Sam for ages! It's superbly written, clever, funny and thought provoking whilst always maintaining a danger that kept me on the edge of my seat. When Stacey did the west end run I thought she was brilliant and just wanted to be up there with her. Me and Stace playing a couple with a new baby in a new house could not be more perfect! I'm really excited!”

Stacey Dooley added: “THRILLED to be slipping back into Jenny's slippers! Truly. I had such a magic few months with 2:22 last year, I couldn't be more excited to bring this incredibly clever show on the road! And with my Kev! Total dream, come see us! S x”

2:22 - A Ghost Story's phenomenal success includes three years in the West End over seven seasons. There have been twelve replica productions worldwide and the show has been seen by over 1 million people in seventeen different countries across 5 continents.

In 2023/24 2:22 - A Ghost Story embarked on its first extensive, hugely successful UK tour. For 2025/26 the production is back on the road revisiting some cities due to popular demand, and also visiting new places where audiences can enjoy the thrill the show delivers for the very first time!

The production began its life in the summer of 2021 at the Noel Coward Theatre, starring Lily Allen, Julia Chan, Hadley Fraser and Jake Wood, and where it won the WhatsOnStage award for Best Play. It then transferred to the Gielgud Theatre for 10 weeks from 4 December 2021. The production there starring Stephanie Beatriz, James Buckley, Elliot Cowan and Giovanna Fletcher completed its run on 12 February 2022. For the first season at the Criterion (May - September 2022) the cast was Tom Felton, Mandip Gill, Sam Swainsbury and Beatriz Romilly. In late September that year Laura Whitmore, Matt Willis, Felix Scott and Tamsin Carroll took over. At The Lyric Theatre from January - April 2023 the cast included Cheryl, Scott Karim, Louise Ford and the return of Jake Wood. The production then moved next door to the Apollo where the cast included Sophia Bush, Ricky Champ, Clifford Samuel and Jamie Winstone. Frankie Bridge took over from Sophia Bush in July of that year. Then in May - August 2024 the show returned to the Gielgud Theatre with Donna Air, James Buckley, aforementioned Stacey Dooley and Joe McFadden.

For its first UK tour the 2023 cast featured Joe Absolom, Charlene Boyd, Nathaniel Curtis and Louisa Lytton and the second leg in 2024 saw Vera Chok, Jay McGuiness, George Rainsford and Fiona Wade take up the roles. In summer 2024 a run at the 3OIympia Theatre in Dublin Ireland tour featured the return of Laura Whitmore (this time playing Lauren) with Shona McGarty, Jay McGuiness, and Colin O'Donoghue.

2:22 is written by award-winning writer Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcast and TV series Uncanny, and is directed by Matthew Dunster; it's an adrenaline-filled night where secrets emerge and ghosts may or may not appear...

What do you believe? And do you dare discover the truth?

"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.
