Stars from Broadway's hit play GOD OF CARNAGE, Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis and Marcia Gay Harden, will be guests on WOR Radio's 'Joan Hamburg Show' tomorrow, Wednesday, April 1 from 11:30AM-12:00PM. WOR is found at 710am. Yasmina Reza's GOD OF CARNAGE, translated by Christopher Hampton and directed by Matthew Warchus opened to rave reviews on Sunday, March 22 and is now playing at the Bernard Jacobs Theatre (242 West 45 Street)

Moe, Larry and Curly I will admit to being reminded of the famous Tallulah Bankhead quip, 'There's less to this than meets the eye.'
