Event details

Following seven West End seasons, a record-breaking UK and Ireland tour and thirty productions across the globe, the stage phenomenon 2:22 A Ghost Story returns to Southampton.

Winner of Best New Play at the WhatsOnStage Awards, Kevin Clifton (Strictly Come Dancing, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Chicago) and Stacey Dooley (TV presenter and Strictly winner) star as fictional couple Sam and Jenny in this edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller. Dooley reprises her role from her stage debut in the 2024 West End production, with Clifton joining her in 2025.

Written by Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcasts Uncanny and The Battersea Poltergeist, 2:22 A Ghost Story comes fresh from record-breaking seasons at five West End theatres with a host of acclaimed star performances. 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?

‘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.

Further casting to be announced.
