Suffolk murder musical angers Ipswich

<p><br /> Family and friends of the five women murdered in Suffolk are appalled at the news that the events are to be turned into a London musical.<br /> </p><p><br /> The National Theatre have said that their production will be in the form of a documentary that looks at the effect of the murders on the community in Ipswich.<br /> </p><p><br /> But Brian Clennell, father of one of the victims Paula, said he is shocked by the idea: "What's it going to prove in the end making this musical? I think it's just macabre, it's just so sick."<br /> </p><p><br /> The musical is called London Road - the name of the road Steve Wright lived in. He was convicted of killing the women, who had been working in the town as prostitutes, in 2006.<br /> </p><p><br /> The Reverend Andrew Dotchin, who knew one of the victims Tania Nichol, has said that for the people of the town it is still a delicate subject and should not go ahead.<br /> </p><p><br /> But the theatre company have defended their plans. They have said that it will be a serious look at how a community was touched by tragedy.<br /> </p>
