In London Road, sometimes people speak, sometimes they sing, and sometimes the difference between the two is barely distinguishable. Take a look below at an exclusive clip, adapted from Alecky Blythe and Adam Cork’s docu-musical. The film stars Emmy nominee Olivia Colman and tells the true story of a group of Ipswich neighbors after their street becomes the epicenter of a string of murders of young women. Every word you hear is taken directly from interviews of residents of Ipswich, down to every stutter and “uh.” The show premiered at the National Theatre in 2011 under the direction of Rufus Norris with a cast including Kate Fleetwood, Rosalie Craig and Clare Burt (all appear in the screen version, as does Tom Hardy).
London Road is now playing in New York and will premiere in additional cities in America over the next two weeks. For complete information, click here.
