The Battersea Poltergeist and Uncanny’s Danny Robins’ spooky play 2:22 is getting a rapid return to the West  End with a new cast.

Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn 99, In the Heights, Encanto) will play the role of Lauren, with the actress saying: “Hooked the moment I read 2:22. I was on the edge of my seat reading it, and I hope you will be too when you watch it! I am excited to be playing a Latinx American trying to make sense of this very unusual and intense London setting.”

She will be joined by writer, performer and presenter of the acclaimed podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast Giovanna Fletcher, who takes on the role of Jenny.

Fletcher said: “I’m thrilled to be joining the cast of 2:22 A Ghost Story as Jenny. Reading the script the first time gave me chills – that feeling has increased in subsequent readings. It’s such an honour to be putting this play on its feet for a West End audience.”

Joining the pair are James Buckley (The Inbetweeners) and Elliot Cowan (Lost in Austen).

The play is directed by Matthew Dunster and will run at the Gielgud from 4 December 2021 to 12 February 2022.
