      A gripping drama based on the true story of Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain. The play explores Ruth’s tumultuous life as a nightclub hostess in 1950’s London, her passionate yet destructive love affair with racing driver David Blakely, and the tragic events that led her to commit murder. Through a mix of noir-inspired story-telling and emotional depth, the play delves into the themes of love, obsession and the harsh realities faced by women in a male dominated world.


      Because our actors perform close to you, we are unable to let guests in once the show begins so, please allow plenty of time to find parking and get settled before the play starts at 7:30pm. Thanks so much for your understanding.

      Wheelchair accessible seating is available upon request - please phone 0508 iTICKET (0508 484 253) to book this in directly!
