Directed by Philip Akin
Toronto Premiere in association with Nightwood Theatre
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.
