Stacey Dooley and James Buckley are set to grace the stage in the spine-chilling production, "2:22: A Ghost Story," which is returning to the Gielgud Theatre in the West End this summer. This critically acclaimed play is penned by Danny Robins and directed by Matthew Dunster and Isabel Marr.
The plot revolves around Jenny, a woman who finds herself plagued by haunting occurrences every night at precisely 2:22 am. Stacey Dooley expressed her enthusiasm for her role, reminiscing about her initial captivation with the play during its 2022 run, she stated she is "delighted to be involved in the next adaptation of 2:22! Made up! I fell for the play when I went to watch it in 2022. All four characters feel so familiar, which means the subtle ghost story' just works so brilliantly. Can't wait to bring Jenny back to life! Let's go!"
James Buckley, echoing her sentiments, eagerly anticipates reprising his role as Ben and returning to the prestigious theater, "I'm so excited to be rejoining the cast of 2.22. It's such a brilliant play and to be back in such a brilliant theatre. It will be great to play Ben again, and now all I need to do is make sure I remember the lines. Can't wait to see everyone there."
Over the years, "2:22: A Ghost Story" has attracted a plethora of talented performers, including Lily Allen, Tom Felton, Laura Whitmore, Matt Willis, and Cheryl Tweedy, among others.
Both funny and scary, 2:22 will take you on an adrenaline-fueled night as Jenny is sure her new house is haunted and is on a mission of trying to convince her skeptical husband Sam. During a dinner party with friends Lauren and Ben, the group starts to feel strange energy looming over them, something is getting closer. Will staying up until 2:22 give them the answers they want? Are ghosts real? Or will skeptic Sam have the last laugh?
A fanstastic piece of writing. Begs to be seen again
