Review: GOD OF CARNAGE at Arkansas Repertory Theatre
by Theresa Bertram - June 24, 2025
Are we truly a civilized society or are we merely pretending, ready to protect our own and destroy others the moment we’re provoked?

Under the keen direction of Zack Steele, this razor-edged play peels back the polished veneer of social etiquette to reveal the primal instincts lurking just beneath.
