A UK stage smash hits the big screen!

The film adaptation of popular and unique recent West End stage hit LONDON ROAD arrives in theaters later this year with many original cast members reprising their roles along with some starry new additions and a first trailer for the film is now available to view.

The official description of LONDON ROAD is as follows: "Hailed as a remarkable, ground-breaking work during two sell-out runs at the National Theatre, the feature film adaptation of London Road reunites the award winning team, with script by Alecky Blythe, music by Adam Cork and directed by Rufus Norris (Broken). With an ensemble cast that includes Olivia Colman, Kate Fleetwood, Anita Dobson and Tom Hardy, London Road documents the events that shook Suffolk in 2006, when the quiet rural town of Ipswich was shattered by the discovery of the bodies of five women. The residents of London Road had struggled for years with frequent soliciting and kerb-crawling on their street. The film follows the community who found themselves at the epicentre of the tragic events, and is based on interviews conducted with the road's real residents. Using their own words set to an innovative musical score, London Road tells a moving story of ordinary people coming together during the darkest of experiences. The film will be on general release in selected cinemas from 12 June."
