With only each other for guidance, a group of young men and women travel the fraught and rocky path of adolescence, discovering their bodies, their minds, and themselves along the way.

London Road
By Alecky Blythe and Adam Cork
Role: Gordon, Singing Santa, Voice on Tannoy, Market Seller
Produced by: MacEwan University
Directed by: Jim Guedo
​
In late 2006 the everyday life of the quiet rural town of Ipswich was shattered by the discovery of the bodies of five women. As Steve Wright, the occupant of No. 79, was arrested, charged and then convicted of the murders, the immediate community grappled with the media frenzy and what it meant to be at the epicentre of this tragedy.
London Road is a verbatim-theatre musical based on those events, with book and lyrics by Alecky Blythe, who recorded extensive interviews with the people of Ipswich, and music by Adam Cork, whose score is a response to the melodic and rhythmic speech patterns captured on those recordings.
London Road is an experimental and challenging work which reveals the ways in which even the darkest experiences can engender a greater sense of our mutual dependence.
