In a small town in the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo, Mama Nadi both protects and profits from the young women who seek refuge in her rain forest bar and brothel. Guided by music and the rhythm of life in the Congo, Ruined is a powerful portrayal of the triumph of the human spirit. As the war outside rages, soldiers trade their guns for cold beer, a game of pool and pretty women – until the revolution arrives at Mama’s doorstep.

Rich with humor, hope and humanity, Ruined is the most acclaimed play of 2009, winner of every major theatre award including the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The first play in Intiman’s five-year International Cycle, it comes to Seattle with the leading original cast members and the design team from director Kate Whoriskey’s acclaimed world-premiere production. Ruined will be co-produced with the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles and, after its run in Seattle, travel to South Africa’s Market Theatre, where the story will be shared with Congolese refugees in Johannesburg.
