About Ruth
At the heart of Ruth lies a woman whose name became infamous: a glamorous nightclub hostess, a victim of abuse, and the final woman to face execution in the UK. Her tale of love, violence, and defiance unfolds in a striking new production that blends noir-inspired visuals with a haunting original score.
Set against the backdrop of 1950s London, from smoky clubs to racetracks and prison walls, Ruth dives deep into her tangled relationships: a brutal father, a loyal admirer, and the volatile lover whose betrayal led to tragedy.
As the clock ticks toward her final moments, an unexpected visitor arrives in her cell, changing everything. Ruth is a story of resistance, heartbreak, and justice that echoes powerfully in today’s world.
