The play is described as a supernatural and ghostly thriller in which main character Jenny - played by Laura - believes her new home is haunted. She will join the production’s fourth set of actors, who take over from the current cast for its next run from 6 September to 8 January 2023.

The play currently features Harry Potter actor Tom Felton, 34, best known for portraying Draco Malfoy in the wizarding franchise. He is set to leave 2:22 A Ghost Story at the end of its current run.

Australian actress Tamsin Carroll and British actor Felix Scott will also join the cast. Last week, the play celebrated 100 performances at the West End’s Criterion Theatre.

Tickets are currently available up to 8 January 2023.
