Ruined Wrap

REVIEWS
Theatre review: ‘Ruined’ is, in a word, magnificent 
"this is one of the most powerful pieces of theatre you are likely to come
across in many months of theatergoing

Ruined: An earthquake of acting that will shake you

THE TORONTO SUN
Congo war play 'Ruined' memorable 

Lynn Nottage’s devastating play is a life-changing theatrical experience

And in the end we had  a truly amazing production that was a great culmination of the last 3 years. I have come to understand that I am a completionist. In other words I can't really enjoy something until it is done and wrapped up.
I think that is why when I was asked what was the best part of the closing night I replied "sitting on the stool in the restaurant" It was only then that I really was able to unwind and  acknowledge what a fine piece of theatre we had created. 

So big, big props to the Obsidian staff,cast, crew, design team, Canadian Stage and the folks over at Nightwood.

Thank you

Philip
