About the Show
God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza is a razor-sharp comedy that begins with civility and quickly unravels into chaos.
When two sets of parents meet to discuss a playground altercation between their children, the conversation starts politely—measured, rational, and well-intentioned. But as the evening progresses, social niceties fall away, revealing deep-seated resentments, fragile egos, and the absurdity of adult behavior.
With biting wit and relentless momentum, God of Carnage exposes the thin veneer of politeness that separates “civilized” society from total disorder. What unfolds is a brutally funny and uncomfortably honest look at marriage, parenting, and the human instinct for self-preservation.
This play is fast, fierce, and unapologetically adult—an intimate theatrical experience that thrives in close proximity and leaves audiences laughing, squirming, and reflecting long after the final line.
