Ruined is the winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize. Lynn Nottage is the author of such plays as Fabulation and Intimate Apparel. This haunting, probing work is about the resilience of the human spirit during times of war. Set in a small mining town in Democratic Republic of Congo, this powerful play follows Mama Nadi, a shrewd businesswoman in a land torn apart by civil war. But is she protecting or profiting by the women she shelters? How far will she go to survive? Responsible Audience: Strong language and mature themes. Situations of war and brutality.
