God of Carnage

Written by Yasmina Reza
Translated by Christopher Hampton
Directed by Alyson Cohn

Set in contemporary Brooklyn, two couples meet to discuss a playground fight between their children. Over the next 90 minutes, this sharply-fanged comedy that lies somewhere between “The Honeymooners” and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? takes on the topics of class, morality and marital control as alliances among the men and women constantly shift. Winner of both the Tony and Olivier Awards for Best Play of 2009, “…Ms. Reza’s streamlined anatomy of the human animal incites the kind of laughter that comes from the gut, as involuntary as hiccups or belching.” NY TIMES
