London Road

This musical about the real-life 2006 "Suffolk Strangler" murders in Ipswich, England, takes its lyrics from verbatim testimony from the town's residents. The story focuses on a provincial single mom (Olivia Colman) who suspects a new arrival is behind the killings, and who later tries to help her community recover from the tragedy. Adapted from Alecky Blythe's stage musical, London Road was directed by Rufus Norris and features a cameo by Tom Hardy as an oddball cab driver.
