Winner of theĀ Tony and Olivier Award for Best Play, God of Carnage is a “comedic masterpiece” (NY Times) that has captivated audiences worldwide with its sharp wit, biting satire, and brutally honest look at human nature. Expect razor-sharp dialogue, gripping performances from a stellar cast, and a rollercoaster of emotions in this fast-paced comedy that will leave you laughing, cringeing, and questioning your own instincts.
