Photo Flash: RUINED at La Jolla Playhouse
Winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Ruined takes place in a small town in the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo. There, Mama Nadi runs a cozy brothel where a soldier can put down his weapon and spend the evening in the company of beautiful women - for a price. Mama Nadi both protects and profits from the young women who work for her, and she is determined to keep the war at bay and the money flowing at any cost. But it's the hope of these courageous women that ultimately prevails. Expertly navigating relationships and politics, Ruined is rich with humor and music, celebrating the triumph of the human spirit.
