2:22: A Ghost Story is a thriller by Danny Robins which had its world premier in the Noël Coward Theatre in London in 2021.The play follows a family who has just moved into a new house which used to be owned by an old widow. However, while the husband is completely happy with the house, the wife senses something afoot. Footsteps and crying coming from her infant daughter's bedroom at 2:22 AM every night. Her husband, Sam, thinks she's going crazy, so she invites two of her friends over for a dinner party and convinces them to stay until 2:22 AM to see it for themselves. Things go south fast, and the once cozy house becomes a terrifying night. The show is currently on a UK tour throughout 2024.The website for the show can be found here: https://222aghoststory.com/ |

Break the Badass: Jenny acts in control of the whole play. Until Sam is pronounced dead, that is. Realizing that the ghost is actually her husband, she completely breaks down. Especially after her friend Ben implies that he knew. |

Awful Truth: The Police use this trope when they reveal that Sam is dead. Ben, who can communicate with the dead, even admits he already knew. Needless to say, Jenny doesn't take it well. |

Artificial Intelligence: Alexa is used as a major plot point. It also foreshadows the fact that Sam is dead. While originally Played for Laughs, the fact that Alexa wouldn't hear a dead man is obvious in hindsight. |

Angst: Fuels most of the tension throughout the play. Every member of the cast has it in a way. Jenny: Sam not believing her that the house is haunted. Sam: Trying to prove to an non-listening Jenny that it isn't haunted. Lauren: Everyone else marrying all the good people, and her getting "what's left". Ben: Believing Jenny, but also having his story of past-lives be torn to shreds by Sam. |
