                                                                             “RUINED”

                                                                                 by Lynn Nottage

 

                                    Winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama

A rain forest bar and brothel in the brutally war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo is the setting for Lynn Nottage’s much honored and acclaimed new play.  The establishment’s shrewd matriarch, Mama Nadi both protects and profits from the women whose bodies have become battlegrounds between the government soldiers and rebel forces alike.  Ruined was developed through the author’s pilgrimage to Africa where countless interviews and interactions resulted in a portrait of the lives of the women and girls caught in this devastating and ongoing tragedy.
