“Zoetic Stage is proud to kick off its 17th Season at the Adrienne Arsht Center with Yazmina Reza's scathing and hysterical commentary on the breakdown of civilized society. God of Carnage is simply one of the funniest plays of this century - and one of the most revered,” said Zoetic Stage Artistic Director Stuart Meltzer. “Yazmina Reza is a playwright who creates a rich tapestry of human foibles mixed with modern societal comedy and bubbly poignancy. “

God of Carnage centers on two sets of well-to-do parents who meet in a Brooklyn apartment to discuss a playground altercation between their 11-year-old sons, one of whom hit the other with a stick, knocking out two teeth. What begins as a polite, civilized conversation to resolve the situation quickly devolves into a night of name-calling, physical altercations and alcohol-fueled hysteria. Originally written in French, the play was translated by Christopher Hampton, whose version enjoyed critically acclaimed productions in the West End and Broadway. The play won an Olivier Award for Best Play, as well as three Tony Awards (Best Play, Best Actress in a Play and Best Director of a Play).

Zoetic Stage’s production features an all-local cast, including Carbonell Award-winner Iain Batchelor, Jordyn Moone, Justin Packard and Sarah Rome Guerra. For cast bios and headshots, visit: https://arshtcenter.canto.com/v/NF87KQJ3OS/album/Q8U55?viewIndex=0.
