Ruined is a play written by Lynn Nottage that tells the story of Mama Nadi, a shrewd businesswoman who runs a brothel in the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo. The play follows Mama Nadi and her employees as they navigate the dangerous and uncertain environment in which they live. As civil war rages around them, Mama Nadi must use her wit and cunning to protect herself, her employees, and her customers from both sides of the conflict. Despite their precarious situation, Mama Nadi's brothel provides an oasis of safety for those seeking refuge from violence or simply looking for companionship. Through this story, Ruined explores themes such as survival in times of conflict, resilience in the face of adversity, and hope amidst despair.
