Winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama"A powerhouse drama. . . . Lynn Nottage's beautiful, hideous and unpretentiously important play is] a shattering, intimate journey into faraway news reports."--Linda Winer, Newsday"An intense and gripping new drama . . . the kind of new play we desperately need: well-informed and unafraid of the world's brutalities. Nottage is one of our finest playwrights, a smart, empathetic and daring storyteller who tells a story an audience won't expect."--David Cote, Time Out New YorkA rain forest bar and brothel in the brutally war-torn Congo is the setting for Lynn Nottage's extraordinary new play. The establishment's shrewd matriarch, Mama Nadi, keeps peace between customers from both sides of the civil war, as government soldiers and rebel forces alike choose from her inventory of women, many already "ruined" by rape and torture when they were pressed into prostitution. Inspired by interviews she conducted in Africa with Congo refugees, Nottage has crafted an engrossing and uncommonly human story with humor and song served alongside its postcolonial and feminist politics in the rich theatrical tradition of Bertolt Brecht's Mother Courage.Lynn Nottage's plays include Crumbs from the Table of Joy, Fabulation, and Intimate Apparel, winner of the American Theatre Critics' Steinberg New Play Award and the Francesca Primus Prize. Her plays have been widely produced, with Intimate Apparel receiving more productions than any other play in America during the 2005-2006 season.

烂尾。Sophie从刚烈到恭顺的性格转变不让人信服，难道仅仅因为Mama给她钱让她逃命就被感动驯化了？
评分讲述刚果妓女的故事 很震撼很感人！ 是去年学modern drama看到的最欣赏的一本
评分部剧一直到结尾之前都很流畅，但是到了最后结尾的时候显得非常突兀:Mama Lina突然就曝出自己之前也被强奸，所以想要拒绝Christian的求爱。这一点在戏剧前半部分没有丝毫的征兆，也使人感觉有点儿烂尾。此外，对于Sophie最后没有离开妓院这一点，我想剧作家可能是想表达一种无可奈何的悲观之情。不过总体而言，戏剧本身还是值得一读的，女性生存的悲哀、刚果共和国内战的暴力性在妓院里也都有所体现，特别是Sophie被迫接待政府长官和Salima最后死去这两个部分比较吸引人。
评分看到了面对无奈处境却不绝望的女性力量。感人然而情节还是略显单薄。
