Play Description:
Winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play [USA] and the 2009 Olivier Award for Best Comedy [UK], God of Carnage presents two couples, the Novaks and the Raleighs, trying to resolve a playground incident in which the Raleighs’ son, Benjamin, knocked out two of the Novaks’ son, Henry’s, teeth with a stick.
The forced veneer of civilization presented by Veronica and Michael Novak and Annette and Alan Raleigh peels off rather quickly, as any attempt to proceed civilly somehow gets sidetracked, proving that we don’t ever get too far from the playground and the rules of engagement therein. The delight of watching Yasmina Reza’s play finds itself described in that most lovely of German words: Schadenfreude!
“God of Carnage,” definitely delivers the cathartic release
of watching other people’s marriages go boom.
A study in the tension between civilized surface and
savage instinct, this play is itself a satisfyingly
primitive entertainment with an intellectual veneer.”
– BEN BRANTLEY, The New York Times
