God of Carnage

Long Beach Performing Arts Center
300 E. Ocean Blvd. Long Beach

Here’s your chance to see this 2009 Tony Award-winner for Best Play in a more intimate setting! In Yasmina Reza’s savagely caustic comedy, a playground altercation between eleven-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 evening progresses and the rum flows, it quickly deteriorates into a finger-pointing, fur-flying, hilarious brawl, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters.

Thru - Feb 19, 2012

Backstage - Recommended

"...While the discussions and negotiations are obviously doomed from the start, and the destruction of the spouses’ efforts is just as obviously inevitable, Desai and company wring laughs from the ways both sides strain to come off as the more devoted, wise, and compassionate parents."

"...Admittedly, Reza doesn’t quite find a way to end God Of Carnage as satisfactorily as one might wish, but that’s hardly reason not to savor eighty of the juiciest stage minutes of recent years. If their 2012 opener is any indication, International City Theatre is in for one smashing season of shows."

"...Luckily, we are never given a moment’s opportunity for too much thinking, and we are able to just sit back and enjoy the mayhem. In this battle royale, the audience emerges the real winner."

"...But one can enjoy Titanic without regarding it as great cinema. God of Carnage’s appeal is obvious. It may not have a gigantic boat, but Capt. caryn and crew don’t need one to get us safely to port after a simple pleasure cruise."
