How would you react as a parent if your ten year old son was smacked in the face with a stick with resulted in a fat lip and a couple of lost teeth? Would you be able to keep you cool? Would you just immediately contact the police or a lawyer and deal with it from that perspective? Well, I'm not sure how I would handle that type of situation, but playwright Yasmina Reza's GOD OF CARNAGE (with a witty and intelligent adaptation by Christopher Hampton) provides a cautionary tale for any parent faced with just such a dilemma. The Repertory of St. Louis' current production is simply brilliant, showcasing incredible performances and smartly conceived direction. This is heady stuff that makes you laugh and think. I've written it a lot lately, but this is one that should not missed at any cost.
