2:22 — A Ghost Story has set its New York Premiere this fall at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. The play begins previews on Oct. 20, with official opening on Nov. 5, and will play a strictly limited engagement through Jan. 17.
The play has had seven West End engagements, two record-breaking UK tours, and thirty productions across the globe. It follows Jenny, who believes her house might be haunted, but her husband Sam doesn’t buy in. When their friends Lauren and Ben come around for a housewarming dinner, a stirring debate ensues: can the dead really walk again? Belief and skepticism clash, but lingering beneath the argument is something strange and frightening.
2:22 – A Ghost Story is written by Danny Robins, the creator of the hit BBC podcast The Battersea Poltergeist, and is directed by Matthew Dunster & Gabriel Vega Weissman. The play’s New York Premiere production will feature sets by Anna Fleischle, costumes by Cindy Lin, lighting by Lucy Carter, Sound by Ian Dickinson for Autograph Sound, and illusions by Chris Fisher. Casting is by Caparelliotis Casting (David Caparelliotis & Joe Gery), and Wagner Johnson Productions will serve as General Manager. The cast for the New York Premiere will be announced at a later date.
“Bringing [the play] to New York really is a childhood dream come true, and this new production is a thrilling chance to bring this story to a fresh audience,” playwright Robbins said in a statement. “What I set out to do when I wrote it was to create a play that will make you jump, laugh, cry and go off into the night debating that age-old question ‘do ghosts exist?’ I love how our brilliant director Matthew Dunster has injected a dose of rock ‘n roll into the staging that makes for an exciting, exhilarating, adrenaline-filled night out. I can't wait to share this experience with New York audiences! Come – if you dare!”
2:22 — A Ghost Story begins performances at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York City on Oct. 20 and runs through Jan. 17, 2027. For tickets and more information, visit here.
