Artists Rep presents the ferociously funny

God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza
Tony winner and Broadway hit kicks off 29th season




This 2009 Tony winner for Best Play, tells the story of two sets of parents who meet to discuss a bullying incident in what they hoped would be a "civilized manner. " As the evening wears on that intent goes awry, and the play turns ferociously hilarious, shocking and disturbing, as the parents battle for ethical superiority.



Set in a renovated loft apartment in The Pearl, what begins as a calm, collected negotiation between two high-powered and well-to-do couples quickly unravels into a situation where both parties are stripped of their urbane pretense. At times violent, at times crude, at times intoxicated, the parents' attempt to rise above the carnal inclinations of their developing children turns into a battle between the sexes and a test of their marriages.



"Come watch people you will recognize getting in touch with their inner 11-year old," said Director Denis Arndt.  "Parents behaving badly can be lots of fun. In this play the audience will play with us. this is not a spectator sport here
