God of Carnage

"Elegant, acerbic and entertainingly fueled on pure bile. It's Reza's sharpest work since Art," Variety wrote about God of Carnage.  In this magnificently constructed Tony Award-winning play, an altercation between 11-year old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed but, as the meeting progresses and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters. The New York Times hailed, "[A] streamlined anatomy of the human animal…delivers the cathartic release of watching other people's marriages go boom…this play is itself a satisfyingly primitive entertainment."
