God of Carnage

BY YASMINA REZA

TRANSLATED BY CHRISTOPER HAMPTON

Performed May & June 2024

Poster for a theatrical production titled 'God of Carnage,' featuring red boxing gloves hanging from a rope on a black background with white and red text. It includes show dates in May and June, translation credits, and event location at Theater im Romanischen Keller.

What happens when two couples meet up after one of their young sons knocks out two of the other boy’s front teeth? Will the parents be more civilised than their boys? Or will the evening spiral into chaos as all manner of issues surface, relationships fray and new alliances form? 

Yasmina Reza’s sharp-tongued and witty satire delights in the depths of human nature and provides insightful home truths on what it means to be a parent, a partner and a human.
