2:22 A Ghost Story opens in Melbourne

Ruby Rose, Daniel Macpherson, Gemma Ward and Remy Hii star in the award-winning play 2:22 – A Ghost Story. The play will make its Australian premiere at Melbourne’s Her Majesty’s Theatre Friday 28 July and play for a strictly limited season to August 20.

2:22 – A Ghost Story first burst onto the West End stage in 2021 and LA in 2022, quickly becoming a cult global phenomenon. The Olivier nominated production and winner of Best New Play (What’s on Stage) combines supernatural intrigue and social commentary in a spine- chilling thriller that has garnered critical acclaim, with Time Out UK calling it “a cracking supernatural thriller,” and The Guardian UK praising it as “a slick, chilling romp of a play.

Written by award-winning writer Danny Robins, and directed by Olivier Award-nominee Matthew Dunster, 2:22 – A Ghost Story is a brilliantly funny and adrenaline-filled night where secrets emerge, and ghosts may or may not appear.

The play 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. They’re going to stay up… until 2:22..and then they’ll know.

The UK and LA productions previously saw high-profile stars, including Lily Allen, Stephanie Beatriz, Tom Felton, and Cheryl, cast in previous seasons, adding another dimension to the show for audiences.

2:22 – A Ghost Story features set design by Anna Fleischle, costume design by Cindy Lin, lighting design by Lucy Carter, sound by Ian Dickinson, casting by Michael Topple, CDG, illusions by Chris Fisher, and Co-Director is Gabriel Vega Weissman. The play is produced by Tristan Baker and Charlie Parsons for Runaway Entertainment, GWB Entertainment, Jones Theatrical Group, Isobel David and Kater Gordon.
