In the Studio Theatre: Based on a true story of Ruth Ellis, the last woman hanged in Britain. The Thrill of Love by Amanda Whittington

13th - 18th Apr 2026

Event info

Start Time: 7.30pm

Tickets: £16.50 Concessions: £14.00


Description

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.

*****

This amateur production of “The Thrill of Love” is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books

BOOKING INFORMATION:

Seating is unallocated because the layout of the Studio Theatre varies from production to production. That’s why your ticket shows an “x” instead of a seat number.

Tickets are non-refundable but if your plans change or you made a mistake then your booking can be transferred to another date (subject to availability) or a credit note issued (24hrs+ notice required).

Concession Prices are available for children and young people aged 16 and under, seniors aged 65+, students, and unwaged patrons. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Coming with a group? Book tickets for a party of 10 or more on the same date and enjoy a 10% discount. Please note that all tickets must be booked at the same time, as the discount cannot be applied retrospectively.

Wheelchair access: The Studio Theatre is located on the ground floor and is fully wheelchair accessible. For full access information, please click HERE.

Latecomers cannot be admitted, and there is no re-entry once the performance has begun.
