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.
