The Pulitzer prizes will be announced tomorrow afternoon at Columbia University. Which play will be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama? Word has it that Lynn Nottage’s RUINED may take home the honor.
Set against the modern day backdrop of the unspeakably brutal Civil war/genocide that has spread from Rawanda to the Congo, RUINED looks at a brothel owner and the chilling cause and effect of how she chooses to run her business in the quest for survival. The fact that RUINED does not take place in America, thus leaving its eligibilty up to the Pulitzer powers-that-be’s interpretation, leaves me hanging onto the edge of my seat until tomorrow…
Fingers crossed for this Mom Playwright, who lives in Brooklyn with her husband, filmmaker Tony Gerber, and daughter Ruby. Good luck, Ms. Nottage!
