Lynn Nottage's Pulitzer-Prize Winning RUINED Published by TCG
Lynn Nottage's Pulitzer Prize winning play, Ruined, has become available in hardcover and paperback from Theatre Communications Group (TCG).
Nottage's socially conscious plays aim to enlighten the audience to little explored, though no less serious, social issues. In the Pulitzer-winning RUINED, she dives into underbelly of the Congo, telling tales of the ongoing conflict in the country from the perspective of female brothel owners. No topic is off limits for Nottage, raw though they may be, including rape and malnutrition. Says Nottage in Variety, "I'm interested in people who are dwelling outside the mainstream...And very often those people happen to be woman of color." The play opened at Chicago's Goodman Theater in 2008 and premiered in New York at the Manhattan Theater Club earlier this year.
In addition to the Pulitzer Prize, Nottage's play won Drama Desk, Lucille Lortel, OBIE, New York Drama Critics' Circle, and Outer Critics Circle Awards.
