Singapore Repertory Theatre (SRT) kick-started its 30th Anniversary with the epic return of Shakespeare in the Park – a reimagined classic that drew over 20,000 people back to Fort Canning Park for a celebration of theatre, love and togetherness. The Anniversary season continues with 2.22 – A Ghost Story - a spine-tingling tale that is sure to thrill. The new play just ended very successful runs in both London and Los Angeles.
This award-winning play tells the story of Jenny and Sam, a young couple who have just moved into their dream home. Soon after moving in, however, they start to experience strange occurrences at exactly 2:22am every night. As the haunting intensifies, and the occurrences increase, the tension and suspense build as the clock ticks down to 2:22, creating a gripping and memorable theatrical experience.
“Ghost stories in general provide a unique opportunity for theatrical storytelling. The eerie atmosphere, supernatural themes, and haunting characters provide wonderful opportunities for heightened storytelling and offer a sense of escapism and excitement that can be very appealing to audiences, especially those looking for a thrilling night out at the theatre. As a culture known for its rich folklore and legends, with many stories revolving around supernatural beings, ghosts, spirits, and other paranormal entities, ghost stories and superstition have been a part of Singapore's cultural heritage for generations, offering a mix of drama, excitement, and intrigue. And a well-crafted ghost story, like 2:22, can provide all these elements. “ -Daniel Jenkins, Director.
