National Theatre at Home: London Road

Set in Ipswich during the autumn of 2006, the story follows a quiet community after the discovery of five women's bodies. A man living at 79 London Road is arrested and convicted of the crimes. The narrative focuses on the local residents as they deal with intense media attention and the trauma of living at the center of a tragedy. The film is a verbatim musical that uses the actual words of those involved, set to an original score, to show how ordinary people connect during a crisis.

Rufus Norris directed the film, which is the fourth in his directorial timeline following Broken, London Road, and National Theatre Live: Nye. The production was handled by the National Theatre in the United Kingdom. The cast features Clare Burt as Jan, James Doherty as Terry, Hal Fowler as Tim, Anna Francolini as Julie, Nick Holder as Ron, and Michael Shaeffer as Alfie. This crime drama has a runtime of 120 minutes and was released on July 14, 2026.
