LYNN NOTTAGE’S PULITZER PRIZE WINNING
RUINED
MTC & GOODMAN THEATRE CO-PRODUCTION
EXTENDED BY POPULAR DEMAND THROUGH SUNDAY, JUNE 28

Manhattan Theatre Club is pleased to announce a six week extension of RUINED, Lynn Nottage‘s Pulitzer Prize winning play featuring direction by Kate Whoriskey. Tickets for the play are now on sale through Sunday, June 28.
This marks the sixth extension of the Manhattan Theatre Club and Goodman Theatre co-production which is currently playing at New York City Center – Stage I (131 West 55th Street).
RUINED is the most acclaimed new play of 2009, having received the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, five Drama Desk Award nominations including Outstanding New Play, five Outer Critics Circle Award nominations including Outstanding Off-Broadway Play, two Drama League nominations, and three Lucille Lortel Award nominations.
From Lynn Nottage, the Obie Award-winning author of such plays as Fabulation and Intimate Apparel and director Kate Whoriskey (The Piano Teacher, Fabulation), comes this haunting, probing work about the resilience of the human spirit during times of war. Set in a small mining town in Democratic Republic of Congo, this powerful play follows Mama Nadi, a shrewd businesswoman in a land torn apart by civil war. But is she protecting or profiting by the women she shelters? How far will she go to survive? Can a price be placed on a human life?
