The God of Carnage: A Play | Yasmina Reza, Christopher Hampton

1 post | 7 read | 1 to read

What happens when two sets of parents meet up to deal with the unruly behavior of their children? A calm and rational debate between grown-ups about the need to teach kids how to behave properly? Or a hysterical night of name-calling, tantrums, and tears before bedtime? Christopher Hampton's translation of Yasmina Reza's sharp-edged new play The God of Carnage premiered at Wyndham's Theatre, London, in March 2008 and at Bernard B. Jacobs Theater, New York City, in March 2009. The International Herald Tribune calls it "an expert piece of stagecraft, and savagely funny."

Der Gott des Gemetzels: Schauspiel | Yasmina Reza

so-so

This was a short – one hour – audio play of the original theatre play and (again today) I‘m unsure if it‘s a “Pick“ or a “So-So”. Yes, I appreciate the art of how the adults lacerate each other. So on that side it‘s a “Pick”. But at the same time it‘s so unrealistic. I really can‘t imagine how people would ever act like that. I know that that is what satire does – so maybe it‘s time for me to understand that satire simply isn‘t my genre. 🤷🏽‍♀️
