Lucy Boynton Transforms Into Ruth Ellis, The Last U.K. Woman to Get Death Penalty, in First Image From ‘A Cruel Love’
Lucy Boynton is set to play Ruth Ellis in a new ITV drama 'A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story.'
Boynton is joined by Toby Jones (“Tetris”), Laurie Davidson (“Cats”) and Mark Stanley (“Trigger Point”) in the four-part series, which promises to expose the British obsession with class, sex and death. “Set in 1955 in the glamorous and intoxicating world of London club-land, Ruth found huge acclaim, aged 28, as the capital’s youngest club manager,” reads the logline. Kelly Jones (“The Long Call”) wrote the script, which is an adaptation of “A Fine Day for Hanging: The Real Ruth Ellis Story” by Carol Ann Lee.
