London Road
LONDON ROAD tells the moving story of a community coming together during the darkest of experiences. It is based on true events that occurred in 2006, when the town of Ipswich was shattered by the discovery of the bodies of five women. When a local resident was charged and then convicted of the murders, the community grappled with what it meant to be at the epicenter of this tragedy. The film uses the actual words of the residents of London Road, set to an innovative musical score, to tell this gripping story in an extraordinary way. Hailed as a remarkable, groundbreaking work during the stage production's two sell-out runs at Britain's renowned National Theatre, this film reunites the award-winning cast and creative team for a truly unforgettable experience.
