2:22 A Ghost Story opens next leg of UK tour at Royal & Derngate with brand new cast.
The smash-hit supernatural thriller 2:22 A Ghost Story opens the next leg of its UK tour in Northampton this January, with a brand new cast taking to the stage at Royal & Derngate.
Running from Thursday 8 to Saturday 17 January, the production marks the theatre’s first show of the New Year. Rehearsals are already well underway.
Since its debut in 2021, 2:22 A Ghost Story has become a modern theatre phenomenon. Written by Danny Robins, the edge-of-your-seat thriller has enjoyed seven West End seasons, more than 30 productions worldwide, and a revolving door of high-profile casts, earning a reputation as one of the most talked-about ghost stories on stage. The play was also a WhatsOnStage Award winner for Best New Play.
The new touring cast heading to Northampton includes James Bye, Natalie Casey, Gary Lucy and Shvorne Marks.
James Bye stars as Sam and is best known for his role as Martin Fowler in BBC One’s EastEnders. His television career also includes appearances in The Bill, Casualty and The Dumping Ground.
Natalie Casey plays Lauren and is widely recognised for her roles in Channel 4 favourites Hollyoaks and Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps.
Gary Lucy, who completes the central cast, is known for a string of popular television roles, including Luke Morgan in Hollyoaks, Danny Pennant in EastEnders, Kyle Pascoe in Footballers’ Wives and PC Will Fletcher in The Bill.
Shvorne Marks rounds out the cast, bringing further stage and screen experience to the production.
2:22 A Ghost Story centres on a dinner party where a debate about the supernatural turns chilling, as one character insists a ghost appears every night at exactly 2:22am. What follows is a night of mounting tension, clever twists and nerve-jangling revelations.
The production arrives in Northampton as part of the continuing UK tour, offering local audiences the chance to experience a play that has become a must-see event for theatre-goers across the country.
2:22 A Ghost Story runs at Royal & Derngate, Northampton, from Thursday 8 to Saturday 17 January.
