"God of Carnage" is about two sets of parents; the son of one couple has hurt the son of the other couple at a public park.
The parents meet to discuss the matter in a civilized manner. However, as the evening goes on, the parents become increasingly childish and the meeting devolves into chaos.
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.
Originally written in French, the play was translated into English by translator Christopher Hampton, and has enjoyed acclaim in productions in London and New York.
