Brighton Fringe Interview: Exploring “With Ruby and I” – dark comedy drama

“With Ruby and I” is a fast-paced dark comedy about the complexities of friendship, love, sex, and betrayal. Set in a tiny flat high above the city, it follows Mags and Ruby-inseparable friends whose lives revolve around partying, hustling, and each other, until the arrival of Tony threatens to unravel everything. The story asks how far someone will go to protect a friendship when everything is at stake.

Paul Levy spoke with writer Corrina O’Beirne and director Christine Kempall.

The play is written by Corrina O’Beirne and produced by WLTM Productions.
