Synopsis
VARSITY WORLD FILM WEEK ONLY. The musical London Road documents 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. Adam Cork's music uses the rhythmic speech patterns captured in Alecky Blythe's recorded interviews with the people of Ipswich to create this extraordinary work, which reveals the ways in which even the darkest experiences can engender a greater sense of our mutual dependence. The stage production London Road was an immediate hit and earned five-star reviews when it premiered at the National Theatre in 2011. The feature film adaptation was directed by Rufus Norris with an ensemble cast that includes Olivia Colman and Tom Hardy.?
