In association with Nightwood Theatre, Obsidian Theatre Company presents the Toronto Premiere of the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, Ruined.

Written by Lynn Nottage, Ruined follows the story of a young woman in the Democratic Republic of the Congo as she makes her way to Mama Nadi, “a savvy businesswoman who, in the midst of a complex civil war, both protects and profits from the women whose bodies have become battlegrounds.” This intense play conveys the stories of the courageous women who “piece themselves together after the ruin.” Described as “Passionate, courageous and acutely argued” by the Chicago Tribune, you won’t want to miss your opportunity to engage the debut of this important play in our city.

Catch a performance tonight at 8pm; tickets for Friday are $30 each. For more information, go to www.nightwoodtheatre.net.
