God of Carnage Tickets

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?

About God of Carnage on Broadway

Everything you need to know about the show.

The Story

Set in present-day New York City, God of Carnage is the story of two married couples who meet for the first time shortly after their respective sons have a nasty schoolyard tangle. Michael and Veronica, whose son’s teeth were knocked out with a stick, invite Alan and Annette, whose son did the knocking, to their home to settle matters such as who will pay for new teeth. But any attempt at having a civilized discussion about whose child is responsible for the fight, and how the parents may have influenced such destructive behavior, quickly devolves into finger-pointing, name-calling, stomping around and throwing things. And that’s before they break out the rum!

Critics’ Reviews (5)

A collection of our favorite reviews from professional news sources.
The New York Daily News

"A picture-perfect production."

The New York Daily News

Joe Dziemianowicz

USA Today

"Scabrously funny."

USA Today

Elysa Gardner

The New York Times

"Never underestimate the pleasure of watching really good actors behaving terribly. Of course you can experience such a spectacle every year around Oscar time. But there is a more sophisticated version of this spectator sport, in which highly skilled stage performers take on roles that allow them to rip the stuffing out of one another, tear up the scenery, stomp on their own vanity and have the time of their lives."

The New York Times

Ben Brantley

Variety

"Elegant, acerbic and entertainingly fueled on pure bile."

Variety

David Rooney

The New York Post

"It's been a while since Broadway's seen such gleefully nasty fun."
