Hit musical London Road returns to the National Theatre in 2025 directed by Rufus Norris
In 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.
Originally developed and performed at the National Theatre in 2011, London Road uses their own words set to an innovative musical score.
Directed by Rufus Norris (Nye), this innovative musical has book and lyrics by Alecky Blythe (Our Generation) and music and lyrics by Adam Cork (Leopoldstadt).
A hugely talented cast includes Claire Moore (Miss Saigon), Clare Burt (Flowers for Mrs Harris), Linzi Hateley (Les Misérables) and Anna Francolini (Twelfth Night).
London Road plays on the Olivier stage, National Theatre from 6 June 2025 until 21 June 2025.
