About this item
The peroxide-blonde nightclub hostess who shot her violent, upper-class lover and became the last woman executed in Britain is at the heart of Ruth - a powerful new musical of passion, violence and justice. Blending moody film-noir visuals with a haunting, emotional score, Ruth explores one woman’s fight against a patriarchal society - a story that still resonates in the #MeToo era. From the smoky glamour of 1950s London nightclubs to the racetrack’s frenzy and the shadow of the gallows, Ruth follows her turbulent relationships: an abusive father, a devoted admirer, and the dangerous lover who sealed her fate. And as her final hours count down, a mysterious stranger visits her cell - and her story takes one last, unexpected turn.
