God of Carnage at Everyman Theatre

God of Carnage

Everyman Theatre
315 W. Fayette St Baltimore

From the playwright that brought you 'Art,' comes this hilarious 2009 Tony Award Winner for Best Play. Two high-strung couples, Alan and Annette Raleigh and Michael and Veronica Novak, decide to meet one evening for a civilized discussion about a playground altercation between their two young sons. What follows is a comically explosive downhill slide from polite, political correctness to full-on character assassination. The New Yorker called this laugh-out-loud hilarity "ninety minutes of sustained mayhem." A no holds barred look at relationships between spouses and friends, and what happens when the littlest things end up pushing us completely over the edge...

"...If you're eccentric enough to believe in the soothing power of culture then watching it unravel into a chaotic disarray of Neanderthal style behavior will surely be appealing to your eyes as the Tony Award-winning comedy God of Carnage comes to Everyman Theatre as its second production in their brand new location. An uproarious night of comic catastrophe spins its way onto the stage as two high-strung couples from the professional world meet for what is meant to be a civil discussion. It all starts when their two young sons get into a playground altercation and the parents meet to determine how best to handle the situation but it quickly slides down a slippery slope from polite subtly veiled insults to full-blown character assassination and explosive childish behaviors. Directed by Eleanor Holdridge, God of Carnage is one hysterical train-wreck blazing a trail of mayhem and madness straight to the end."

"...The Everyman production, directed by Eleanor Holdridge, delivers that burst with a good deal of spark. Performances are likely to gain steadily in crispness of pacing and nuance in the delivery as the run continues."

"...Despite the outrageous and childish behavior, in the end you believe that there is hope for these two couples-and civilization as we know it. This is a roller coaster evening of theater not to be missed."

For 85 taut, Tasmanian minutes, in Everyman's God of Carnage, you are thrown into the train wreck of what starts out as a civilized conversation between two sets of parents.
