This comedy of manners has no manners. A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings two sets of Brooklyn parents together for a meeting to resolve the matter. The meeting starts with diplomatic niceties, but as the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off. God of Carnage won several 2009 Tony Awards, including for Best Play.
