In the story, Ben is the partner of Jenny’s friend Lauren, who she has invited over for a dinner party.

She convinces them to stay until 2:22 in the morning to decipher whether there is a ghost.

While Ben believes there could be, her own partner Sam does not believe in anything supernatural.

The part  has previously been played by the likes of Sophia Bush and Ruby Rose.

Stacey excitedly said: ‘Delighted to be involved in the next adaptation of 2:22! Made up! I fell for the play when I went to watch it in 2022.

‘All 4 characters feel so familiar, which means the subtle ‘ghost story’ just works so brilliantly. Can’t wait to bring Jenny back to life! Let’s go!’
