God of Carnage by: Yasmina Reza translated by: Christopher Hampton  presented by arrangement with David Pugh and Dafydd Rogers A State Theatre Company of South Australia Production

Australia’s own Kim Gyngell from The Comedy Company and Full Frontal stars in a comedy of manners…without 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 amiably, 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. God of Carnage is a hysterically funny night of name-calling, tantrums and tears before bedtime. “…incites the kind of laughter that comes from the gut.”  NEW YORK TIMES WINNER 2009 TONY AWARD – BEST PLAY WINNER 2009 OLIVIER AWARD BEST NEW COMEDY
