Ruined

Have any of you seen the play, RUINED? It won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for drama and is now being performed at the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood. "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." It plays through October 17. I definitely plan on seeing it. I've heard it described as powerful, provocative, moving, emotional and disturbing. It gives a face and a voice to the women of the Congo. I'll let you know what I thought but if you get the chance then please do see this play.
