*Ruined* wins

As predicted, Lynn Nottage's *Ruined* won the Pulitzer today.
*Becky Shaw* and "In the Heights* were the other finalists.
Chair of the jury was Dominic Papatola, with whom Bobo has had a beer or two. Also on the jury was David Henry Hwang, with whom Bobo has not had a drink of any kind, not even a PBR.

Pulitzer short list: no Labute

In the N.Y. Post, Michael Riedel boosts Neil LaBute and bashes Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The gist: Lynn Nottage's *Ruined* (about rape victims in the Congo) and Gina Gionfriddo's *Becky Shaw* (drunken disorderliness among thirtysomethings) seem to be Pulitzer front runners, with LaBute's "reasons to be pretty" and Miranda's "In the Heights" losing ground - and Yasmina Reza's "God of Carnage" ineligible.

*Playbill* presents nothin' but the facts, ma'am, here.
