A playground altercation between two 11-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 principles in tatters.
"God of Carnage," the play by Yasmina Reza, premiered in New York in 2006, and was made by Roman Polanski into the film "Carnage" in 2011, a sharp and witty film with an all-star cast.
