GOD OF CARNAGE By Yasmina Reza
Directed by Richard Varty
Produced by Mel Hinch
A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents who want to resolve the matter. Diplomatic niceties are observed when the parents first meet, but as the meeting progresses, tensions emerge. Gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters.
