National Theatre at Home: London Road
2026·2h 0m·★ 0.0
Autumn, 2006. The everyday life of the Suffolk town of Ipswich is shattered by the discovery of the bodies of five women. The occupant of No. 79 London Road is arrested, charged and finally convicted of the murders. Caught in the headlines and the invasion of their quiet road, the community grapples with what it means to be at the epicentre of the tragedy. Using their own words set to an innovative musical score, London Road is a moving story of ordinary people coming together during an extraordinary time. Director Rufus Norris, writer Alecky Blythe, and composer Adam Cork reunite for this highly anticipated return of the remarkable, award-winning verbatim musical.
