Between 2006 and 2008, Steve Wright killed five people in the town of Ipswich, Suffolk. The residents of London Road found themselves in the heart of the media storm, and were shocked by the representation of their neighbourhood in the press. Throughout the course of one of the most challenging times in their lives, the residents of London Road came together to repaint, remake, and re-establish their homes into something they could be truly proud of, and something that would stop the country associating them with the murders. This is the story of the residents of London Road.

Created from newspaper quotes and media interviews with real people, 'London Road' is an upcoming musical from director Rufus Norris ('Broken', 'National Theatre Live: Everyman'). The film started off as a stage performance from scriptwriter Alecky Blythe, with music by Adam Cork. The film contains the entire original cast, as well Tom Hardy, Olivia Colman, and Kate Fleetwood, as well as Alecky Blythe in a cameo role. 'London Road' is set for limited theatrical release in the UK on 12th June, 2015.
