This Pulitzer Prize-winning play is a probing and courageous work about human strength in the face of unimaginable horror. Ruined is a story of silent sufferers in the Republic of Congo who, through sheer will and fortitude, transcend the abominations and embrace life to discover that love is still the binding force amidst the violence, and distrust.
