This ghostly play is coming to York next year – which has starred Cheryl, Lily Allen and Tom Felton

The ghostly new stage phenomenon that has taken London’s West End by storm is coming to York next year.

2:22 A Ghost Story follows the story of Jenny, who 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. Something is getting closer, so they’re going to stay up until 2:22 – and then they’ll know.

2:22 A Ghost Story is at the Grand Opera House York from Tuesday 30 April to Saturday 4 May 2024.

The UK tour comes fresh from record-breaking seasons at four West End theatres with a host of acclaimed star performances – including among others Lily Allen, Cheryl, Stephanie Beatriz, Tom Felton, Jake Wood and James Buckley.

Casting for the tour has yet to be announced, but it’s a show with a reputation for featuring big names – so it’ll be exciting to find out who is set to star.

The supernatural thriller is written by Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcasts Uncanny and The Battersea Poltergeist.

Danny Robins said: “Over the last year I have had so many people asking me on social media when we are going to bring 2:22 out on tour. That moment has finally arrived.

“It’s a play that will make you laugh, scream, cry, think and jump out of your seat – a proper spooky night out.”

What will you believe? And do you dare discover the truth?

Tickets for 2:22 A Ghost Story will go on general sale on Friday 17 February at 10am, and will be available via the Grand Opera House website.
