Our Next Production
Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam isn’t buying into the nightmare.
Every night at exactly 2:22 AM, a terrifying presence makes itself known through the baby monitor. During a tense dinner party with an old friend and her new partner, the scepticism clashes with the supernatural. Heated debates, buried secrets, and mounting dread push the four friends to the edge.
To prove who is right, they make a pact: they are going to stay up until 2:22 AM to discover the truth.
Are you brave enough to stay up? Book your tickets now—before time runs out.
