Viveca’s courage of unveiling her identity finally brings hope and freedom to the blacks as they are accepted and respected as part of the white

When I entered the Brigg’s Theatre on February 4, I quickly noticed the small setting as Director Mary Christoper Grogan handed me the playbill. Instantly I noticed the suicide hotline on the second page and was intrigued at how this play may end. I had no preconceived idea of this play except that it had received a Pulitzer Award in 1983. Curious to know how it received such an honorary title, I anxiously waited for the play to start.

The play I will be exploring is Ruined by Lynn Nottage. Ruined focuses on the lives of women in the Congo War that work at a brothel. I have the play to be honest in its approach to war. Likewise, through much imagery, action, and symbolism, the play has a rich subtext.

I began this semester with a comedic high school play production, and finished it with a comedic play presented by Theater By The Grove. Boeing Boeing served as a parallel to my initial experience with the Indiana Senior High School production of Around the World in Eight Plays. Despite the similarities between the two productions, many aspects differed including the performance level. Being this is the third play I’ve seen since attending college, I now have a wide spectrum upon which to compare each production.

However, the life of the character The Kid could be told in a female’s perspective. In consideration of The Kid being told in a female perspective, the entire cast should be depicted as
