Thu 10 Jun 2021 00.45 EDT Lily Allen is to make her West End theatre debut in a “bloody scary” supernatural thriller opening in London this summer. The singer will star in 2:22 – a Ghost Story, a new play by Danny Robins, who is best known for his docudrama horror podcast The Battersea Poltergeist. Allen described the play as a “brilliant investigation into the ghosts that haunt us” and said it offers wit, a frightening plot and “a meditation on marriage and relationships and family”. Live performance has been the most thrilling part of her career, she added, as it is about “connecting with a group of individuals and the spontaneity of whatever happens on the night”.
