Better believe in ghost stories – you’re in one! Oops, wrong script quote – but serves its purpose anyway. Whatever the case, fans of terror and good theatre alike will be horrified to know that London’s most thrilling paranormal-themed play is on its way to haunt the rest of the country. Written by award-winning author Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcast The Battersea Poltergeist, and directed by Matthew Dunster and Isabel Marr, the piece tells the stirring story of a couple who has recently moved to their new house, where they’ll soon find they’re not the only inhabitants of the property.
“Over the last year I have had so many people asking me on social media when we are going to bring 2:22 out on tour”, says Robins. “That moment has finally arrived. We are beyond excited to be taking the show around the UK. It’s a play that will make you laugh, scream, cry, think and jump out of your seat – a proper spooky night out – and it’s coming to a town near you!!! Do you dare come and watch? We can’t wait to see you!”.
