The Thrill of Love

by

Amanda Whittington

Directed by Mike Rogerson

14th - 21st March 2015

The Thrill of Love takes a fresh look at the woman behind the headlines. This modern take on a real life drama provides insight into the story of Ruth Ellis, who was the last woman to be hanged in the UK.

They say that fact is stranger than fiction and this is a classic example - not a murder mystery, more a mystery about a murder. A divorcee with a young child to care for, Ruth worked in the kind of nightclubs where there was more than just a drink on offer. However, there are many questions that have never been answered. Why did she plead not guilty but offer no defence? Why did she show no remorse? And who was she trying to protect? The Thrill of Love takes a fresh look at the woman behind the headlines.
