Runaway Entertainment has announced the full cast for the 2025 UK tour of the critically acclaimed supernatural thriller 2:22 – A Ghost Story. Joining Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton are Shvorne Marks as Lauren and Grant Kilburn as Ben. Kilburn returns to the role after understudying on the 2023 tour and the Apollo Theatre West End season.
2:22 – A Ghost Story will embark on an extensive UK-wide tour, opening at Manchester Opera House on 4 August 2025 and continuing through to November 2025. A second leg of the tour will run from 8 January to 20 June 2026, with casting to be announced.
Shvorne Marks commented, “I am so thrilled to be joining 2:22 and getting to work on this incredible play. Lauren is a great character and I look forward to putting my own spin on her. It’s a fantastic team and we’re going to some incredible venues. I’m super excited.”
Grant Kilburn added, “Everyone who’s been part of 2:22 – A Ghost Story will know how special this show is to me. Having understudied both the characters of Sam and Ben on West End at the Apollo – stepping into Ben’s shoes every night on the UK tour will feel beyond special. I’m so thrilled to be back with the Runaway and 2:22 family, reunited with Gabe Vega‑Weismann, and bringing Danny Robins’s clever, thrilling script to life alongside an immensely talented cast. I cannot wait to unleash my version of Ben come August!”
2:22 – A Ghost Story has enjoyed phenomenal success, including three years in the West End over seven seasons. The show has been seen by over 1 million people in seventeen different countries across five continents.
In 2023/24, 2:22 – A Ghost Story embarked on its first extensive UK tour. For 2025/26, the production is back on the road, revisiting some cities due to popular demand and visiting new places where audiences can enjoy the thrill for the first time.
