Following seven West End seasons, a record-breaking UK and Ireland tour and thirty productions across the globe, for the climax of their Centenary season Wombwell Thespians present the stage phenomenon:
“2:22 – A Ghost Story“
By Danny Robins
An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books
“There’s something in our house. I hear it every night, at the same time”
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.
Winner of Best New Play at the “WhatsOnStage” Awards, this supernatural thriller is written by Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcasts “Uncanny” and “The Battersea Poltergeist”, it has featured a host of acclaimed star performances (including Lily Allen, Cheryl, Stacey Dooley, Tom Felton, Jake Wood and James Buckley). It’s a brilliantly funny and adrenaline-filled night where secrets emerge and ghosts may or may not appear… What do you believe? And do you dare discover the truth?
