Following in the footsteps of other members of the UK Hall of Fame, Stacey Dooley is the latest to join the West End production’s cast
Danny Robins’ (best known for The Battersea Poltergeist podcast) 2:22 A Ghost Story, is returning to the Gielgud Theatre this summer and is changing up its cast once again. This time round, documentary presenter and former Strictly star Stacey Dooley will be making her stage debut as Jenny, while James Buckley (who you’ll all recognise as Jay from The Inbetweeners) will be reprising his role as Ben.
If it’s not been on your radar yet, 2:22 is a supernatural thriller that takes place over the course of one night when Jenny, who believes her new house is haunted, and her husband Sam argue with their old friend Lauren and her new partner Ben about ghosts and whether or not they exist. Part horror, part social commentary, the play is an exploration of the clash between belief and scepticism.
Previous iterations have seen Cheryl, Lily Allen, Giovanna Fletcher, Mandip Gill and Laura Whitmore take on the lead role. The show will be running for 10 weeks, starting on Sat 25th May, and tickets go on sale tomorrow – grab yours below.
