2:22 - A Ghost Story Reviews

Annie- Louisa from London, England

MEDIOCRE

We felt very out of step with this. The audience laughed at the anodyne jokes and gave a standing ovation. Once you factor out the novelty of seeing 'Cheryl' this really was a mediocre play. It had a 1970's sit com vibe - very weak humour and lots of shouting and swearing. A lot of it felt over-acted and if you are expecting to feel spooked/haunted etc. you'll be disappointed (lots of jump scares though). If you know your ghost stories you'll find the ending unoriginal. It was entertaining in a passable way but I wouldn't recommend.

SIXTH FORM NOT SIXTH SENSE

Characters shouted their lines like unwilling sixth form participants. No tension, embarassing, jump scares. With a "twist" ending that makes literally no sense. Extra star as i enjoyed my ice cream at the break.

TAKE EAR PLUGS FOR THE TERRIBLE SHOUTING

Acting was just awful. All they did was shout. Louise the main actress stomped about the stage shouting rambling and it was so hard to understand. Really found it hard to follow. The ending was good, was a good twist and the fact it was over.

BORING

Very, slow, boring story line. Not scary.

JUST AWFUL. I HAVE SEEN BETTER SIXTH FORM PLAYS

If you are familiar with good theatre in London, this is a poor production by comparison. If it wasn’t for Jake Wood’s character performance, which is the best aspect of this play, I would have left at the interval. The writing is immature and splattered with cliche. The canned screams and red flashing lights are a cheap trick to distract you from second rate direction. Lily Allen cannot act and is painful to watch. Other cast members not even worthy of a mention. As for for the plot twist, oh dear. Framing this play with reference The Mousetrap is shameful. This production is more akin to a trap party, with Lily Allen as the bait to lure a crowd that will know no better. Do not waste your evening or money on this play. There are many productions in London more deserving of your patronage.

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE

Totally disappointed. Apart from some comedy moments from Ben and Sam, the play was a disaster. Performances were lame and Lilly Allen sèemed wooden and for most part stiff and forced. It was neither horrifying or terrifying and definitely not entertaining. To be honest, all those in my party found it a struggle to stay awake - if it wasn't for the canned shrieks of foxes we would have dozed off. It's 2.5 hours of my life I won't get back back so save your time and money and do something else.

AWFUL

Dont waste your money. It certainly wasn't spooky, chilling, eerie or entertaining . Apart from a few comedy moments from Ben and Sam the rest was awful. The whole performance seemed amateurish and Lilly Allen cannot act. I've seen bettervpeoductions as my son's high school.
