Following seven West End seasons, a record-breaking UK and Ireland tour and 30 productions across the globe, the stage phenomenon 2:22: A Ghost Story now comes to Leeds.
Winner of Best New Play at the WhatsOnStage Awards, this supernatural thriller stars James Bye (Eastenders), Natalie Casey (Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps), Gary Lucy* (Hollyoaks) and Shvorne Marks (Three Little Birds).
Written by Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcasts Uncanny and The Battersea Poltergeist, 2:22: A Ghost Story comes fresh from record-breaking seasons at five West End theatres with a host of acclaimed star performances. It’s a brilliantly funny and 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.
*Due to circumstances beyond his control, Gary Lucy is no longer joining the 2026 leg of the UK tour of 2:22 A Ghost Story. Grant Kilburn from the 2025 cast of the UK tour will be rejoining the company to reprise the role of Ben.
