God of Carnage

God of Carnage
by Yasmina Reza
Co-Directed by Derek Bertelsen and Robert Tobin
November 12 – December 12, 2021

About the show: Two high-strung couples decide to meet one evening for a civilized discussion about a playground altercation between their two young sons. What follows is a comically explosive downhill slide from polite, political correctness to full-on character assassination. A no-holds-barred look at what happens when the littlest things end up pushing us completely over the edge.
