God of Carnage (2nd cast)

The record-breaking Broadway flagship run of Yasmina Reza's 'God of Carnage' at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre entered a highly successful new commercial chapter when a powerhouse "Second Cast" took over the marriage-fracturing roles. The real-time narrative charts two sets of wealthy, highly civilized parents whose polite living-room meeting to resolve a playground fight between their sons degenerates into an emotionally savage crucible of primitive rage and marital mud-slinging. Staged under Matthew Warchus’s precise original direction, this high-profile casting extension maintained the script's raw, unvarnished dramatic realism, starring Jimmy Smits, Christine Lahti, Annie Potts, and Ken Stott.
