A playground altercation between their eleven year-old boys brings two couples together in an attempt to resolve the matter. Initially diplomacy prevails but, as the evening progresses (and alcohol flows…), the gloves start to come off in Yasmina Reza’s award-winning, comically explosive landslide.
“A study in the tension between civilized surface and savage instinct, this play is itself a satisfyingly primitive entertainment with an intellectual veneer. God of Carnage may be a familiar comic journey from A to B, but it travels first class.”
-The New York Times
