Description

"shows the company at its best, bringing drama to life in a way that grabs the attention and lingers in the mind" - Cultured. North East

******

“The truth: rarely pure, never simple. Well, not on her side of town”

Based on the true story of Ruth Ellis, the single mother and nightclub hostess who was the last woman hanged in Britain, this gripping drama invites you into the dark underworld and seedy glamour of 1950s London.

Weaving known facts with imagined scenarios, Whittington takes a new look at the real woman behind the headlines and at the events which drove her to murder.

Part noir thriller, part poignant character study, what unfolds is a tragic story of love and betrayal, shattered dreams, and broken bodies.
