Review of 2:22 – A Ghost Story touring production highlights structural weaknesses

A review of Danny Robins's play 2:22 – A Ghost Story during its national tour, currently at Theatre Royal Bath from January 19-24. The production, which premiered in 2021, originally featured celebrity casts but now relies on its script and structure. The story follows Jenny and Sam, who host friends Lauren and Ben to investigate paranormal activity in their Victorian home at 2:22am. The review notes the script's thin character development, reliance on loud jump scares, and an unsatisfying climax, though it praises the touring cast's performances and the communal audience experience.
