A comedy of manners...without the manners. Alan and Annette's son has hit Michael and Veronica's son with a stick, breaking two of his teeth. The grown-ups have gathered to discuss, logically and amicably, how to deal with the boys. After all, nothing will be gained by behaving like children...

At first diplomatic civilities are observed, but as the meeting progresses and the alcohol flows, huge tensions emerge, and the gloves come off, leaving more than just their liberal principles in tatters.

Featuring Yasmina Reza's incisive observations, acerbic wit and deliciously shrewd humour, God of Carnage is a hysterically funny night of name-calling, tantrums and tears before bedtime.
