God of Carnage

"I found myself delighted by Yasmina Reza's incisive observation, her acerbic wit, her shrewd humour and her stunning cast."

The Times

  • Full Length Play
  • Dramatic Comedy

  • Time Period: Contemporary
  • Set Requirements: Interior Set
What happens when two sets of parents meet up to deal with the unruly behaviour of their children?

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.
