Translated by Christopher Hampton

They say kids will be kids, but the adults are worse - much worse.

The other day in the park, 11 year old Oliver knocked 11 year old Leo's two front teeth out. Their parents meet up to have a civil conversation about the misdemeanours of their children in a suitably calm and rational way… what can go wrong? As night falls chaos ensues with explosive tantrums, name-calling and tears. 

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play and Olivier Award for Best Comedy, Yasmina Reza's sharp corrosive wit rips the thin veneer of civility with heart-pounding honesty. God of Carnage is the unmissable darkly funny roller-coaster you won’t want to end.
