Get ready to cling to the edge of your seat as a nail-biting thriller sets its sights on a Kent theatre.
2:22 A Ghost Story is currently giving audiences across the country the chills on its nationwide tour, including five hair-raising nights at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley.
The touring production stars The Wanted singer Jay McGuiness.
The musician, who is also known for winning Strictly Come Dancing with partner Aliona Vilani in 2015, has appeared in several stage shows, including a musical adaptation of the Tom Hanks film Big and 1960s dance production Rip It Up.
The cast of this spooky show also features some familiar faces from the world of British soaps, including Emmerdale actress Fiona Wade, Hollyoaks star Vera Chock and Casualty’s George Rainsford.
Since its debut at London’s Noël Coward Theatre in 2021, 2:22 A Ghost Story has seen several big names appear in the cast such as Lily Allen, Stephanie Beatriz, James Buckley, Matt Willis and Cheryl.
The show, which has completed five successful seasons on the West End, was written by Danny Robins, the creator of paranormal podcasts Uncanny and the Battersea Poltergeist.
It has been nominated for three Olivier Awards, including Best New Play and Best Sound Design, and won three WhatsOnStage Awards in 2022.
The spine-tingling show follows married couple Jenny and Sam as they invite their friends Lauren and Ben over for dinner at their new home.
Jenny is convinced the house is haunted but Sam denies any ghostly goings on so, at a dinner party, the group decides to stay up all night and find out whether the spirits show themselves.
2:22 A Ghost Story is at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley from Tuesday, March 12 to Saturday, March 16. You can book tickets online here.
