  | RUINED Lynn Nottage’s Ruined is a powerful portrayal of the triumph of the human spirit in a war-torn country. Guided by music and the rhythm of life in the Congo, Ruined transports us to Mama Nadi’s bar, a small town refuge where intimacy comes at a price. But by creating this uneasy oasis for women who have no place else to go, is Mama a protector or profiteer? Expertly navigating relationships and politics, this remarkable story, rich with humor, hope and humanity, was lauded in numerous critic top 10 lists and was extended eight times during its New York run.

Whoriskey keeps the panorama of activity vivid and lively." - The Seattle Times "Rises above shock to deliver a tale of the triumph of the human spirit... The actors, many of whom have been in the cast since its New York run, were stunning in their performances. Nothing but kudos from this camp as far as the entier production was concerned." - Seattlest.com "There's hope, humor, even a little romance." - Seattle Met Magazine
