Ruth Ellis works in the kind of nightclubs where there’s more than just drinks on offer.

The girls work hard, play hard and dream of a movie-star life. Then she meets the wealthy, womanising David, a racing driver with whom she becomes obsessed.

Why does their relationship end in murder? Why does she plead ‘not guilty’ but offer no defence? And who is she trying to protect?

This play dramatises – with a surprising amount of humour – the true story of Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain and takes a look at the woman behind the headlines.
