God of Carnage Tickets
French playwright Yasmina Reza’s Olivier Award-winning tale of parents who fight dirtier than their kids is a razor-sharp satire.
A savage comedy of manners
What example are we setting for our children? Find out as the darkly funny God of Carnage wreaks havoc at Lyric Hammersmith this year. This Olivier Award-winning play is a rollercoaster ride through social norms, schoolyard grudges and adults behaving like kids that you won’t want to miss.When Ferdinand knocks Bruno’s front teeth out at the park, their parents meet up to have an adult conversation about their children. It’s all going to be civil, mature, and respectful. Isn’t it? As night begins to fall, chaos breaks out as the adults prove to be more childish than their eleven-year-old sons.
French writer Yasmina Reza’s Olivier and Tony Award-winning God of Carnage play is a sharp satire that rips the thin coating of civility away from its characters, with thrilling and shocking effect. It is adapted into English by Christopher Hampton (Sunset Boulevard; Atonement), and at Lyric Hammersmith is directed by Nicholai La Barrie.
Casting for God of Carnage is to be confirmed.
