God of Carnage

Yazmena Reza’s God of Carnage won the 2009 Tony and Oliver awards for Best Play. It was the 4th show of the 2022 season, directed by the marvelous Joe Calarco and starring Jill Abramowitz, Benin Foster, Vanessa Lock and Jason O’Connell.

The play was brilliantly done with a gorgeous set design by Sarah Beth Hall with lighting by Andrew Cissna and costumes by Johanna Pan.

The Cape Cod Times wrote the play is “distressingly relevant, relatable and disturbing while managing to fit into the genre of comedy. It’s dark comedy, to be sure, but entertaining and never dull. It’s the kind of show where you want to barge onto the stage and demand that the characters sit down, shut up and work out their differences in a civil manner. The phones ring constantly, everyone offends each other, and the action is almost dizzying. Regardless, it’s a fun night out.”
