God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton
12 to 19 February 2022
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play and the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, this ruthlessly comic study of middle class parenting by the author of Art is one of the most successful plays ever in the history of the West End.
When eleven-year-old Ferdinand hits eleven-year-old Bruno with a stick in a playground punch-up and knocks out two of his teeth, the combatants’ enlightened parents decide to meet to talk things over civilly. But once the niceties are done with and the drink starts flowing, it is the parents who turn into spoiled brats.
Please note: The director, Ian Cole, will be running free Q & A sessions after the Tuesday and Thursday performances, for which you are welcome to stay.
