The Thrill Of Love

Award winning Barton Theatre Company present this dramatic story by Amanda Whittington of a true event which effected the British public's view of hanging.

Described as a Blonde Bombshell and a Femme Fatale, Ruth Ellis famously became the last woman to be hanged in Britain in July 1955.

This exciting play explores the lives and relationships of the beautiful, sassy and smart women who sought an escape from poverty in the perceived glamour of the London club scene.
