What do you believe? And do you dare discover the truth?
Danny Robins’ hit play is now on its fourth UK tour since its 2021 West End opening, where it won the WhatsOnStage award for Best Play.
James Bye, who played the role of Martin Fowler in EastEnders for over ten years, will play Sam. Natalie Casey (Hollyoaks; Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps) will play Lauren. Grant Kilburn returns to play Ben, having previously performed in the 2025 tour, and Shvorne Marks – who played Lauren in the 2025 UK tour – will change roles and play Jenny.
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.
James Bye said: ‘I’m over the moon to be joining 2:22 – A Ghost Story as Sam. It’s such a clever, brilliantly written show, and I can’t wait to get started.’
Natalie Casey said: ‘I’m thrilled to be tingling spines and facing existential fears up and down these fair isles as Lauren in the chilling, modern classic; 2.22.’
Grant Kilburn said: “Everyone who’s been part of 2:22 A Ghost Story will know how special this show is to me. Having understudied both the characters of Sam and Ben in the West End at the Apollo – stepping into Ben’s shoes every night on the UK tour will feel beyond special. I’m so thrilled to be back with the Runaway and 2:22 family, reunited with Gabriel Vega Weissman, and bringing Danny Robins’s clever, thrilling script to life alongside an immensely talented cast.”
Shvorne Marks said: ‘I’m so excited to play Jenny – It’s not often you get to play two great roles in the same show! I have absolutely loved playing Lauren and I still enjoy coming to work every day – so I’m really happy my journey with 2:22 isn’t over yet.’
