‘Ruined’ at the Almeida Theatre

The Almeida Theatre in Islington is staging a play about human right abuses and conflict the civil war-torn Congo. The play has been directed with great skill - it makes you reflect on the situation in the country through its vivid narrative that focusses on women in the Congo and their struggle in a country where sexual violence is used as a weapon. The play is dense at times, but it is cleverly lightened up with touches of humour. A Must See if you are in London!
