VGCC Drama Presents: God of Carnage

A playground altercation between two children brings their parents together for a civil discussion—but what starts as polite diplomacy quickly spirals into sharp wit, rising tension, and complete disorder.

This award-winning comedy by Yasmina Reza takes a hilarious and revealing look at modern relationships, social expectations, and the fragile line between civility and chaos. As the evening unfolds, alliances shift, tempers flare, and the masks of politeness begin to slip.
