God of carnage, paperback/yasmina reza

What happens when two sets of parents meet up to deal with the unruly behavior of their children? A calm and rational debate between grown-ups about the need to teach kids how to behave properly? Or a hysterical night of name-calling, tantrums, and tears before bedtime? Christopher Hamptons translation of Yasmina Rezas sharp-edged new play The God of Carnage premiered at Wyndhams Theatre, London, in March 2008 and at Bernard B.

Jacobs Theater, New York City, in March 2009.

The International Herald Tribune calls it ``an expert piece of stagecraft, and savagely funny.
