Headliners include James Bye (‘EastEnders'), who takes on the role of Sam, alongside Natalie Casey (‘Hollyoaks', ‘Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps') as Lauren. Following last year's tour, Grant Kilburn reprises his role as Ben, while Shvorne Marks returns to the production as Jenny after previously playing Lauren.
Directed by Matthew Dunster and Gabriel Vega Weissman, the award-winning play opens at Northampton’s Royal & Derngate on 8th January 2026 before touring across the UK through to July. The production will visit the Churchill Theatre, Bromley from 15th to 20th June 2026.

James Bye said: “I’m over the moon to be joining 2:22 – A Ghost Story as Sam. It’s such a clever, brilliantly written show, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Written by ‘Uncanny' creator Danny Robins, ‘2:22 – A Ghost Story' has become a major West End success, running for seven seasons and touring internationally. The production has now been seen by more than 1.1 million people across 17 countries.
The thriller follows Jenny and Sam as a chilling mystery unfolds in their new home, leading four friends to stay awake until 2:22am to discover the terrifying truth.
