God of Carnage, by Yasmina Reza

A contemporary comedy, this play centres on two sets of parents who come together to discuss a playground altercation between their young sons.

What begins as a courteous and well-intentioned conversation gradually unravels, as polite restraint gives way to blame, defensiveness, and long-suppressed tensions. As the evening progresses, the discussion exposes personal values, relationships, and assumptions under increasing strain.

By blending humour with discomfort, the play offers a satirical look at civility and conflict, revealing how quickly social decorum can fracture when emotions run high.
