Overview

Winner of the 2009 Tony Award, God of Carnage is a brash and hilarious exploration of human nature. After one 11-year-old is hit by another, their parents meet to find a mature resolution. As the evening wears on, the veneer of civility degenerates. What begins as protective parenting ends as an excuse to let loose the primordial beast buried in each of us. An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring: Simon Helberg as Alan Amy Landecker as Veronica Josh Stamberg as Michael Jocelyn Towne as Annette Directed by Martin Jarvis. Recorded in Los Angeles before a live audience at The James Bridges Theater, UCLA in June of 2016. A study in the tension between civilized surface and savage instinct, this play is itself a satisfyingly primitive entertainment with an intellectual veneer. Ben Brantley, The New York Times
