Join Brisbane based, Growl Theatre Company as they present Le Dieu du Carnage (God of Carnage).  

Written by award winning French playwright, Yasmina Reza, this Tony Award winning piece of contemporary French theatre will be sure to surprise and delight.

A playground altercation between two eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Parisian parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. Alan and Annette’s son hit Michael and Veronica’s son in the face with a stick, resulting in two broken teeth. Diplomatic niceties are observed when the four of them agree to discuss the incident civilly, however as the afternoon wears on, tensions emerge and the gloves come off. Any attempt at having a civilised discussion about whose child is responsible for the fight, and how the parents may have influenced such destructive behaviour, quickly devolves into finger-pointing and name-calling.

The play is performed entirely in French with the inclusion of English surtitles (displayed above the stage).
