Opening this week at The Berkeley Street Theatre is the sexually and politically charged RUINED, by Lynn Nottage. The piece is presented by Obsidian Theatre Company in association with Nightwood Theatre Company.
Show Description:
Set in a present-day small mining town in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lynn Nottage's Ruined (2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama) follows a young woman's path to Mama Nadi, a savvy businesswoman who, in the midst of a complex civil war, both protects and profits from the women whose bodies have become battlegrounds.
At once heartbreaking and captivating, Ruined pays homage to the courageous and resilient women who must piece themselves together after the ruin.
Sounds pretty compelling to us. For tickets please click here!
