"God of Carnage is 90 minutes of roaring fun that seems to end way too soon."
- Ruth Smerling, Theatreworld Internet Magazine


Yasmina Reza's critically acclaimed God of Carnage shares a humorous glimpse into the darker side of parenthood. The winner of the 2009 Laurence Olivier and Tony Awards for best new play, this exciting and absurdist comedy is centered in conflict. A simple playground disagreement between children devolves into chaotic (and hilarious) friction between their parents. The laughable, if all too familiar, over-the-top confrontation makes God of Carnage a great choice for an adult-friendly night out.
