Ruined is set Mama Nadi's bar in a small mining town deep in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Here, her rules apply: no arguments, no politics, no guns. When two new girls tainted with the stigma of their recent past arrive, Mama is forced to reassess her business priorities and personal loyalties. As tales of local atrocities spread and tensions between rebels and government militia rise, the realities of life in civil war provide the ultimate test of the human spirit.

The play, commissioned by Chicago's Goodman Theatre, received its world premiere there in November 2008 before transferring to New York's Manhattan Theatre Club earlier in 2009 (running from January to September). In addition to the Pulitzer, the play was also the recipient of seven Best Play Awards including the New York Critics' Circle Award, two Drama Desk Awards and four Obie Awards.
