About the play:
Universally acclaimed for its emotional power, “Ruined” is set inside a bar and brothel where
female survivors of Congo’s brutal war are given shelter by the owner, Mama Nadi. In exchange
for protection, the women -- most of them rape victims who have been sold to Mama Nadi by a
traveling salesmen -- serve as prostitutes in a world where conventional notions of morality have
been turned upside down. To read a New York Times Review of the play, click here.
