Amanda Whittington’s acclaimed drama is gripping, funny and moving. It looks at the story of Ruth Ellis (Maisie Sayer), the last woman to be hanged in England (in 1955), largely through the eyes of Ruth and the other women involved.

A divorcee with a young child to care for, Ruth Ellis works in the kind of nightclubs where there’s more than just a drink on offer. The girls work hard, play hard and dream of a movie-star life. Then she meets the wealthy, womanising David Blakeley, a racing driver with whom she becomes obsessed. Fame comes – but not in the way she imagines.

Why does their relationship end in murder? Why does she plead not guildy but offer no defence? Why does she show no remorse? And who is she trying to protect?

Pictured l to r: Martin Willoughby (judge), Lynsey Lennon (Vickie), Maisie Sayer (Ruth), Frances Farrugia (Doris), Chris Simson (Inspector Gale), Debra Wilkins (Sylvia)
