Theatre Program at N.C. A&T to Open
Season with War, Sexual Assault Drama, “Ruined”
East Greensboro, N.C. (Oct. 10, 2018) – For its first
production of the 2018-19 theater season, the Department
of Visual and Performing Arts at North Carolina
Agricultural and Technical State University will present
“Ruined” by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Lynn
Nottage. The play will run Oct. 18 – 21 and 25 – 28, in
Paul Robeson Theatre. The play examines the
resilience of the human spirit in times of war. Set in a
small mining town in the Democratic Republic of Congo,
it follows Mama Nadi, a shrewd businesswoman who runs a
brothel in a land torn apart by civil war. Mama Nadi
keeps the peace between customers on both sides by
serving everything from cold beers to warm beds. She
protects and profits from the women whose bodies have
become battlegrounds “ruined” by the brutality of rape
and violence at the hands of government soldiers and
rebel forces alike. Ruined” delves into the
unthinkable reality – the heads and hearts of rape
victims and their perpetrators – to create a
full-immersion drama of shocking complexity and moral
ambiguity. Inspired by interviews conducted in Africa,
this searing play, directed by Dr. Vanita Vactor is an
engrossing and uncommonly human story, revealing the
loss and hopelessness of war, yet finding affirmation in
life and hope. The Chicago Tribune hailed “Ruined” as “a
remarkable theatrical accomplishment … sincere,
passionate, and courageous!”
