About This Show:
God of Carnage, a new Broadway play by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton, comes to Broadway following a sold-out 2008 run in London's West End. London critics called it "tense, edgy, funny, and incisive."
God of Carnage deals with the aftermath of a playground altercation between two boys and what happens when their parents meet to talk about it. Producers call it a “comedy of manners without the manners.”
