It's set in a small bar in the Congo, but Lynn Nottage's recent Pulitzer Prize-winning play, 'Ruined,' tells an epic story about the ravages of war, especially its impact on women. Nottage traveled from her Brooklyn home to refugee camps in Uganda, seeking a rounded portrait of lives caught up in a civil war in the Congo that's dragged on for several decades.

Click here for Jeffrey Brown's conversation with Nottage, which aired Monday on the NewsHour. An extended interview with Nottage and a scene from her play, "Ruined," are below.
