The Black Stripe Threater Company invites you to enjoy their production of the play “God Of Carnage,” to be performed from January 21st – January 25th at OGIKUBO SHOW GEKIJOU 「荻窪小劇場」. There will be six performances in total. Tickets are sold out but a limited number might be obtained at the theatre on the performance day should cancellations arise. The running time of the entire show is approximately 65 minutes. There will be no intermission.
God of Carnage is a play by the French playwright, actress, novelist and screenwriter Yasmina Reza. It is about two sets of parents–one of whose child has hurt the other at a public park–who meet to discuss the matter in a “civilized manner.” However, the discussion devolves into a spectacle no more civilized than their children’s playground behavior. In 2011 the play appeared as a film adaptation by Roman Polanski and was called simply “Carnage.”
