2:22 A Ghost story at the Regent Theatre
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……..
Kevin Clifton (Strictly Come Dancing, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Chicago) and Stacey Dooley (TV presenter and Strictly winner) star as fictional couple Sam and Jenny in this edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller.
They’re joined by Grant Kilburn as Ben and Shvorne Marks (Three Little Birds, Get Millie Black) as Lauren for this chilling supernatural thriller.

2:22 A Ghost Story- Final Thoughts
I was really looking forward to this show. I had heard AMAZING things and couldn’t wait to see what all the fuss was about – and I wasn’t disappointed. The direction, cast, lighting, and set design all combine wonderfully to create a thrilling show. I genuinely loved it from start to finish. A brilliantly talented cast and show brimming with drama and ‘jump in your seat’ moments.
As for what happens at 2:22, I couldn’t possibly tell you. I will be keeping the secret – BUT what I will say is if you’re looking for an adrenaline-filled night out at the theatre 2:22 a Ghost Story is the perfect night out with family and friends. A modern ghost story, or more a question….’Do ghosts exist???’….. Well do they? Head over to The Regent Theatre to catch 2:22 and make your own mind up!
A spectacular show, amazing direction and a brilliantly talented cast – one you won’t want to miss.
