KWLT Presents God of Carnage, By Yasmina Reza

God of Carnage

By Yasmina Reza

Translated by Christopher Hampton

Directed by Ryan Bassett

When faced with conflict, children can often lash out. That’s what happens on the playground, when 11-year-olds Henry and Benjamin get into a fight. Wanting to set a good example for the children, their parents come together to discuss the incident, and try to settle things in a civilized manner.

They try.

But civility is just a word, and one that is quickly forgotten when you’re standing at the precipice, where the slightest breeze will send all tumbling down. And it’s looking pretty windy.

Performances will be November 21st through 23rd, 28th through 30th, and December 5th through the 7th. Showtime is 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2pm on Sundays.

Doors will open half an hour before the performance starts. Seating is first-come first-served. The play runs about 90 minutes and is presented without intermission.

Special performances:

The Thursday, December 4th performance is a designated COVID Cautious performance with extra precautions. Patrons will be required to wear a mask at all times while in the theatre, and asked to consume concessions outside. There is also a lower audience capacity for this performance to allow for distancing. There will be no alcohol sales on this evening

Tickets at the door are $25 for non-members, $20 for members, groups, and youth. Please note that online ticket sales are available up until 4 hours before the performance. Even then, there may still be walk-in tickets available, so please arrive before showtime!
