"Gods of Carnage"

West Bloomfield – Yasmina Reza's play "God of Carnage" unleashes all sorts of comic havoc between and within two self-absorbed couples meeting for the first time. It seems that Couple A's 11-year-old son has smacked Couple B's son with a stick, and the parents are sitting down to hash things out.

Whatever the kids may have done to each other is beside the point. What the adults do to each other makes for a compellingly entertaining 90 or so minutes at the Jewish Ensemble Theatre Company.

Winning the Tony Award for Best Play of the year, this tour de force mercilessly strips away civilization's thin veneer.

"Gods of Carnage" can be seen at the Berman Center for the Performing Arts in West Bloomfield, MI  now until January 1st.  Matinee and evening performances are available almost all days. For ticketing information, call the box office at (248) 788-2900.  The show is suitable for teens and up.
