Winner of the 2009 Tony Award®, God of Carnage is a brash and hilarious exploration of human nature.
After one 11-year-old is hit by another, their parents meet to find a mature resolution. As the evening wears on, the veneer of civility degenerates. What begins as protective parenting ends as an excuse to let loose the primordial beast buried in each of us.
Recorded before a live audience at the UCLA James Bridges Theater in June 2016.

But I was left unsatisfied. Maybe because I wanted there to be more arc to the story and the characters, or perhaps the word "carnage" made me think I was going to see more than just first world problems.
Simon Helberg's performance was wonderfully nuanced, and certainly my favorite part of this production.
Pretty Good.

Not really worthy of the hype

Having been through this sort of thing with my daughters I could relate to both sides of this conflict. That allowed me to flow seamlessly between characters, aligning myself with first one, then another. And while the ending did feel a bit abrupt that just mirrored reality where, in my experience, everyone walks away feeling unhappy and vaguely unfulfilled.
Enjoyable, while also painful.

If you want clever dialogue, maybe a couple of laughs, and you don't mind profanity and vulgarity, you might like this play. But two minutes after it's over, you will never give it a second thought.
Play is very overrated
