REVIEW 2:22 MK Theatre - Oct 25

From the moment the lights went down, a clock began its relentless countdown toward 2:22, its glowing digits daring us to keep watching as the seconds slipped away. We were trapped in its grip waiting for the inevitable.

REVIEW 222 MK Theatre - Oct 25
The excellent production and staging places us in a deceptively ordinary living room that could easily be yours or mine, where every creak of the floorboards, every whisper, every restless stir of the baby monitor feels charged with menace. The stripped-back set leaves nowhere to hide, just four people, their laughter and arguments cracking open with secrets as the night stretches on, belief clashing violently with skepticism.
 
The masterful use of lighting, sound, and illusions enhances the atmosphere, exquisitely heightening a sense of foreboding.
REVIEW 2:22 MK Theatre - Sep 25
This is supernatural suspense that tightens with every tick of the clock. The silence thickens, foxes scream outside, voices are raised and truths are dragged into the open under pressure. As the digits edge closer to 2:22, the anticipation becomes almost unbearable.
 
Robins blends horror with dark humour yet every laugh only heightens the lingering sense of terror. Even knowing the twist, the ending still sent a chill down my spine.
REVIEW 2:22 MK Theatre - Sep 25
2:22 A Ghost Story dares you to watch the clock, to sit in the silence, to feel the dread coil tighter with every passing minute.
 
 
It is tense. It is eerie. It is unnervingly intimate. And the question is simple: when the clock strikes 2:22, will you still be in your seat?
 
I enjoyed every unnerving second but its mystery is not mine to reveal. The real test is whether you dare to step into the darkness and discover it yourself.
