God of Carnage at Playhouse 1960

Playhouse 1960 presents God of Carnage. Winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play, God of Carnage relates an evening in the lives of two couples, residents of a tiny Brooklyn neighborhood, who meet to discuss a playground incident. Alan and Annettes son hit Michael and Veronicas son in the face with a stick, resulting in two broken teeth. The four of them agree to discuss the incident civilly, but, as the night wears on and drinks are imbibed, the polite veneer breaks down. The couples initially spar against each other, but the men gang up on the women and the spouses switch sides as the fighting continues. Rezas play suggests that our civilized trappings do a poor job of hiding our venality and bile. Warning: God of Carnage contains mature language and subject matter.Under the direction of Tom Aldridge, God of Carnage opens March 1 @ 8:00 pm with a champagne reception following the performance. The run continues March 2, 8, 9, 15 & 16 @ 8:00 pm and March 17 at 3:00 pm. Tickets are available at www.playhouse1960.com. Ticket prices are Adults $21.00; Seniors, Students, Active Military, Veterans & Spouses $18.00. Playhouse 1960 is located at 6814 Gant Road, Houston Tx 77066.
