God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza at The Stagecrafters Theater

God of Carnage opening at The Stagecrafters on February 9th is the Tony Award winning play by Yazmina Reza (translated from the original French by Christopher Hampton).

Two couples meet to talk through the playground brawl between their adolescent sons which resulted in injury to one of them. Set in the stylish Brooklyn apartment of one of the couples, the ensuing discussion rapidly progresses from upper middle-class civility to outright hostilities fueled by plenty of alcohol. Initially, the couples spar with each other but the arguments degenerate into hilarious confrontations of men against men, men against the women and other shifting alliances.

The play suggests that under a civilized veneer lies a dark side to all human interactions.

Directed by Jane Toczek, featuring the talents of Laura Christman, Eric Crist, Claire Golden Drake and Matt Rydzewski.

The Stagecrafters located at 8130 Germantown Avenue in Chestnut Hill.
