God of Carnage at Lamplighters Community Theatre

Start the new year with a bang and see "God of Carnage" at Lamplighters - a dark comedy of manners, without the manners. Winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play. Synopsis: "God of Carnage" relates an afternoon in the lives of two couples, residents of a tony Brooklyn neighborhood, who meet to discuss a playground incident. Alan and Annettes son Henry hit Michael and Veronicas son Benjamin in the face with a stick, resulting in two broken teeth. The four of them agree to discuss the incident civilly, but, as the afternoon wears on and drinks are imbibed, the polite veneer breaks down. The couples initially spar against each other and themselves.
