Set in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the year 2000, Ruined follows a young woman's nightmarish 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.
MacArthur Foundation Award-winner Lynn Nottage returns to Chicago with the Goodman commission Ruined, which will be appearing Off-Broadway in January, 2009.
A co-production with Manhattan Theatre Club.
The running time for Ruined is approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes with a 15 minute intermission.
