On 13 July 1955, Ruth Ellis was the last woman to be hanged in Britain, for the murder of her lover.
In this 2013 play, Ruth’s crime is re-examined in the light of 1950s society and the experiences that led to her death, exploring the enigma of Ruth Ellis: a woman whose short but explosive life is still intriguing. No defence, no remorse. Who was she trying to protect?
We recommend this play is suitable for ages 14+
