2:22 is a show which keeps you guessing throughout, it’s satisfying to watch whether you know the ending from a previous visit, or not. It’s compelling, hilarious, and surprisingly foxy. Robins’ impeccable writing contains all the aspects of a great thriller and properly fleshed-out characters. Long may 2:22 A Ghost Story continue its domination of the West End stage(s).
