RUTHLESS
GANGSTER's MOLL...??

Yes, Ruth Madoff is one of the most controversial spouses of a criminal - ever.
Due to the enormous fraud of her husband, many are left to question
her involvement - or her innocence.

Swiss author Roger Steinmann takes us behind closed doors of that very mythical woman, as the play is based on true events.
The mood of its title character is handled in a similar way as of Blanche DuBois in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, and of Norma Desmond in SUNSET BLVD.
