This contemporary comedy focuses on two sets of well-to-do parents, united after their sons are involved in a playground altercation. Alan and Annette are invited into Michael and Veronica’s home to civilly work out the conflict. As the evening progresses, polite conversation is abandoned and the evening dissolves into chaos.
God of Carnage was originally written in French. This play debuted on the West End in 2008, and moved to Broadway in 2009, where it won the Tony Award for Best Play. God of Carnage has since been produced internationally. In 2011, a film version titled Carnage was produced starring Kate Winslet, John C. Reilly, Jodie Foster, and Christoph Waltz.
God of Carnage is directed by Gregg Stull, professor and chair of the Department of Theatre & Dance. Scenic design is by associate professor Julie Hodge, and costume design is by associate professor Kevin McCluskey. Lighting and sound design are by guest designers Catherine Girardi and Jon K. Reynolds, respectively. For further information, call the Klein Theatre Box Office at (540) 654-1111 or visit fredtix.com.
