2:22 A Ghost Story is an absolute scream – review
We heard only good things about the original run of 2:22 A Ghost Story which opened at London’s Gielgud Theatre last summer.
It’s subsequently won Best New Play at the WhatsOnStage Awards and was nominated for the same award at this year’s Oliviers; it has just reopened on the West End at the Criterion Theatre and currently stars Tom Felton (best known for playing Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films).
At the weekend we popped down to the Criterion to see what the fuss was about. It’s immediately apparent that this is not going to be a conventional play – this is much more of an experience.
The production values are sky high, with the clever sound design and a range of atmospheric effects lending proceedings a filmic quality – it’s like watching a horror movie unfold on-stage.
