God of Carnage

Set in Brooklyn, New York, God of Carnage is a dark comedy about what transpires when two sets of parents meet to discuss, and ostensibly resolve, a schoolyard fight between their respective children. Winner of both the Tony Award and the U.K.'s Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play, God of Carnage was praised by the New York Times as "potent entertainment" which "incite[s] the kind of laughter that comes from the gut", and aptly summarized by The New Yorker as "ninety minutes of sustained mayhem" which demonstrates "just how thin a line lies between civility and barbarity."

  • Yasmina Reza, (born May 1, 1959, Paris, France), French dramatist, novelist, director, and actress best known for her brief satiric plays that speak to contemporary middle-class anxieties.

    Reza was the daughter of Jewish parents who had immigrated to France. Her Iranian father was an engineer, businessman, and a pianist, and her mother was a violinist originally from Budapest. Reza studied at the University of Paris X, Nanterre, and at the drama school of Jacques Lecoq before working as an actress. The first two plays she wrote, both winners of a Molière Award, were Conversations après un enterrement (1986; Conversations After a Burial), involving death and sex, and La Traversée de l’hiver (1989; “Winter Crossing”), about the unlikely friendship that develops between six people spending their vacation at a Swiss mountain resort.
