⏱ RUNNING TIME
2 hours 20 minutes including interval
Inspired by the iconic horror film series, this brand-new live stage story follows James and Lou, who move from Chicago to London hoping to leave the past behind them… only to discover that places aren’t haunted, people are.
🎭 WHAT TO EXPECT
Fresh from a sell-out, extended London run, this spine-chilling production now heads out on its first-ever UK and Ireland tour. Expect rising tension, eerie twists and the kind of edge-of-your-seat atmosphere that will have you holding your breath one moment and jumping the next.
The cast includes James Bye (2:22: A Ghost Story, EastEnders) as James, Hannah Sinclair Robinson (The Play That Goes Wrong, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) as Lou, alongside Jo Castleton (War Horse) and Caroline Faber (Network, The Heiress).
