Amateur theatrical production of 2:22 - A Ghost Story, a spooky stage phenomenon perfect for Halloween.
People's Theatre is putting on 2:22 - A Ghost Story by Danny Robins, running from Tuesday 20 October to Saturday 24 October. It's a spooky stage phenomenon that's built a bit of a reputation, and with the run sitting right in the middle of the Halloween season, it's a good fit for the time of year.
If you haven't come across it, 2:22 is a ghost story that plays with the idea of what we can actually prove. It's the kind of thing that works best when you're in the room with it, and since it's a ghost story, the timing of the run — a week of performances leading up to Halloween — is something to keep in mind if you're planning your October. The production runs for five nights, from the 20th through to the 24th, so you've got a few dates to choose from.
One thing worth knowing about the show is who's behind it. People's Theatre is a non-professional company, and it's one of the largest and oldest of its kind in the country. Every production they put on is run entirely by its members — on stage, backstage and front of house — so the people you see performing are the same ones running the show. It's a genuine community theatre, and many of its members have gone on to work in professional theatre.

The theatre itself is on Stephenson Road in Newcastle upon Tyne, NE6 5QF. It's a busy spot that stages productions year round across its 400-seat Main Stage auditorium and its flexible Studio Theatre, with an accessible foyer, bar and performance spaces. There's also a Foyer Gallery that shows exhibitions by established and emerging artists, so if you're arriving early, there's usually something to look at before the curtain goes up. 2:22 - A Ghost Story runs from 20 to 24 October at People's Theatre on Stephenson Road.
