* Part of the Ghost Light Series

God of Carnage relates an evening in the lives of two couples, residents of a tony Brooklyn neighborhood, who meet to discuss a playground incident. Alan and Annette’s son hit Michael and Veronica’s son in the face with a stick, resulting in two broken teeth. The four of them agree to discuss the incident civilly, but, as the night wears on and drinks are imbibed, the polite veneer breaks down. The civilized parents resort to name-calling, tantrums, insults, and any childish but futile means to protect their adult dignity. Reza’s play suggests that our civilized trappings do a poor job of hiding our venality and bile.
