God of Carnage follows a meeting between two sets of parents after a playground altercation between their sons. The adults agree to settle the dispute amicably, putting on a show of politeness. However, the facade of civility quickly falls as the four give into their childish rage. Couple spats with couple, husbands turn on wives, and the ugly side of humanity is revealed with hilarity. This dark comedy reminds us of how close we are to crossing a line, and how ridiculous it looks when we do. 

“GOD OF CARNAGE is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play” Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)”
