Twilight Theater Company RT: "God of Carnage"
TWILIGHT THEATER COMPANY PRESENTS:
TTC READERS THEATRE
"GOD OF CARNAGE"
BY YASMINA REZA
TRANSLATED BY CHRISTOPHER HAMPTON
SEPTEMBER 12 & 13
SYNOPSIS:
A PLAYGROUND ALTERCATION BETWEEN ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD BOYS BRINGS TOGETHER TWO SETS OF PARENTS FOR A MEETING TO RESOLVE THE MATTER. AT FIRST, DIPLOMATIC NICETIES ARE OBSERVED; BUT AS THE MEETING PROGRESSES, AND THE RUM FLOWS, TENSIONS EMERGE AND THE GLOVES COME OFF, LEAVING THE COUPLES WITH MORE THAN JUST THEIR LIBERAL PRINCIPLES IN TATTERS.
REVIEWS OF "GOD OF CARNAGE"
"[A] STREAMLINED ANATOMY OF THE HUMAN ANIMAL... DELIVERS THE CATHARTIC RELEASE OF WATCHING OTHER PEOPLE'S MARRIAGES GO BOOM. A STUDY IN THE TENSION BETWEEN CIVILIZED SURFACE AND SAVAGE INSTINCT, THIS PLAY IS ITSELF A SATISFYINGLY PRIMITIVE ENTERTAINMENT." - THE NEW YORK TIMES
"ELEGANT, ACERBIX AND ENTERTAININGLY FUELED ON PURE BILE. ITS REZA'S SHARPEST WORK SINCE 'ART'." - VARIETY
"BRUTALLY ENTERTAINING... IN ANOTHER OF CHRISTOPHER HAMPTON'S EXQUISITE TRANSLATIONS, [REZA] CANNILY MANIPULATES SOCIAL OBSERVATIONS THAT APPEAL TO VAST AUDIENCES AND CREATES CHARACTERS THAT BRING OUT THE BEST IN ACTORS." - NEW YORK NEWSDAY
