2:22 – A Ghost Story (NHB Modern Plays)

Product Information

The cast guide the audience with skill, capturing the dynamic of a close-knit group, easing the crowd into dinner time conversation and minor bickering, only to amp up the ante and conflict with divisive beliefs and intermittent fox shrieks. I’ve been a huge fan of Danny Robins for a while now so this is a part and an opportunity I cannot wait to get started on.

S. premiere of “2:22 – A Ghost Story,” which debuted in London’s West End last year, seems determined to make theatrical fright nights fashionable again. After the altercation, Lauren has a private conversation with Sam where she confesses to having doused Phoebe's toy in spirit in an attempt to prove Sam (and his constant need to provide a scientific explanation for everything) wrong, and also confesses that she has loved him since their university days.

Cheryl, Hugo Chegwin, Louise Ford and Scott Karim will be playing at the Lyric Theatre, London from 21 January 2023 to 23 April 2023. At its outset, the play is a frightening theatrical experience, but one that is also invested in metaphysical questions of belief and our need to project our fears, our loss, our loves, and our frustrations onto a spectral presence.As a theatre artist, too, I know that I could never direct this play for a theatre company because most American audiences, especially in the many pockets that are more conservative, would be turned off to the amount of language is in this play. When we were about to open in London, I could audibly hear the critics sharpening their knives,” he says. On 10 June 2021, it was announced that the play would premiere at the Noël Coward Theatre in London's West End from 3 August running until 16 October 2021.
