God of Carnage

A comedy of manners… without the manners!

“God of Carnage” is about two sets of parents; the son of one couple has hurt the son of the other couple at a public park.

The parents meet to discuss the matter in a civilized manner. However, as the evening goes on, the parents become increasingly childish and the meeting devolves into chaos.

A calm and rational debate between grown-ups about the need to teach kids how to behave properly? Or a hysterical night of name-calling, tantrums and tears before bedtime?

Boys will be boys, but the adults are usually worse – much worse.

Originally written in French, the play was translated into English by translator Christopher Hampton, and has enjoyed acclaim in productions in London and New York.
