GOD OF CARNAGE

Yasmina Reza

February 8 – March 3, 2013

A study in the tension between civilized surface and savage instinct, this wickedly funny play was the winner of the 2009 Tony award. A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters.
