Lily Allen to make West End debut in new Danny Robins play 2:22 - A Ghost Story

2:22 - A Ghost Story, which will premiere in August, will star Lily Allen, Julia Chan, Hadley Fraser and Jake Wood, and will be directed by Matthew Dunster. The Danny Robins play will be his debut play in the West End.

Allen said of her involvement, "I am so excited about getting to work on this play! The live performance aspect of my career has always been the most thrilling part for me, connecting with a group of individuals and the spontaneity of whatever happens on the night. I feel that stepping into this play is an exciting natural extension of that and affords me the best of all worlds. I get to explore mature subject matter, be a woman with a real point of view and show the West End audiences how much I love live performance and being in front of an audience. I can’t wait!"

She added, "Danny’s play is a brilliant investigation into the ghosts that haunt us and the how’s and why's they come to be. It’s everything I love; wit, a meditation on marriage and relationships and family all hinging on a frightening plot. Matthew is an amazing director who has worked with some of the coolest material theatre has to offer. I'm a fan of what he does, and so honoured that he asked me to come on board."
