GOD OF CARNAGE's Christine Lahti Featured In NY Magazine Online

Broadway's hottest comedy, the Tony Award-winning Best Play, GOD OF CARNAGE and Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winner Christine Lahti are featured on NY Magazine Online. Lahti recently spoke to reporter Lori Fradkin about seeing the first preview of the play and wanting to play the role of ‘Veronica.'

The story, titled "Christine Lahti on Starting God of Carnage Anew, Following a Tony Winner" begins "It's hard to picture a foursome other than Jeff Daniels, James Gandolfini, Marcia Gay Harden, and Hope Davis as the squabbling parents in the Tony-winning God of Carnage. But we couldn't expect them to stick around forever. Starting tonight, a new cast - Jimmy Smits, Ken Stott, Annie Potts, and Christine Lahti - will duke it out on the stage of the Bernard B. Jacobs Theater."

Yasmina Reza's GOD OF CARNAGE, directed by Matthew Warchus plays at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre (242 West 45th Street).

After receiving rave reviews in London, GOD OF CARNAGE opened on Broadway March 22, 2009 to unanimous praise.

Ken Stott created the role of ‘Michael' in the London premiere of the play. Ken Stott is appearing with the support of Actors' Equity Association. The producers gratefully acknowledge Actors' Equity Association for its assistance of this production.

The Yasmina Reza comedy won the Tony Award for Best Play and Best Direction of a Play (Matthew Warchus). GOD OF CARNAGE also won the 2009 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.

GOD OF CARNAGE is a comedy of manners without the manners. The play deals with the aftermath of a playground altercation between two boys and what happens when their parents meet to talk about it.
