Adult content, strong language.
A playground altercation between eleven-year old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn 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 principals in tatters.
The cast includes Augustus Truhn (Alan), Lisa DeCaro (Veronica), Emily Paton Davies (Annette) and Mark Collins (Michael)
French playwright Yasmina Reza earned the "Best Play" Tony award for the 2009 Broadway production of "God of Carnage." For the 2011 film version (titled Carnage), Reza co-wrote the screenplay with Roman Polanski, who also directed. It was her play "Art," which premiered in 1994, that brought Reza wide notice. "Art" won a British Laurence Olivier Award for best comedy and a Tony Award for best play.
