London Road

The Ipswich prostitute murders are the unlikely inspiration for this musical, which was a hit on the London stage. A fascinating examination of a curtain-twitching community floored by the killings and resulting media circus, the script and songs use real dialogue recorded at the time. Colman is excellent as a concerned/appalled neighbour of the murderer, while Hardy is a taxi driver with a troubling obsession with serial killers. All cast and crew do an impressive job in making this unlikely proposition such an engaging, thought-provoking and darkly funny watch.
