God of Carnage (James Gandolfini)

Yasmina Reza’s Olivier and Tony Award-winning international phenomenon 'God of Carnage', masterfully translated from the French by Christopher Hampton, turns a chic Brooklyn apartment into a hilarious, psychologically savage playground of tribal warfare. The real-time narrative ignites when two sets of wealthy, highly civilized parents converge to calmly resolve a playground altercation between their eleven-year-old sons, collapsing into a frantic storm of liquor-fueled resentments, class hypocrisies, and physical violence that strips away their liberal pretension. Directed by Matthew Warchus at the Jacobs Theatre in 2009, the historic original Broadway cast starred James Gandolfini, Marcia Gay Harden, Jeff Daniels, and Hope Davis.
