Spotlight: “God of Carnage”

The incredible play “God of Carnage” raked in several Tony Awards earlier this month, making the production one of the most talked-about and most seen plays of the entire year. The Yasmina Reza comedy has been an absolute crowd-pleaser ever since its opening on Broadway on March 22, and after extending its run through November 15 (originally scheduled to end July 19), “God of Carnage” has officially hit a landmark, having reached 100 performances already as part of its magnificent tenure on Broadway.

“God of Carnage” features the incredible starring actors and actresses Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden, and the production has absolutely lit up the theatrical scene over the past several months, even earning three Tony Awards earlier this month for Best Play, Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play (Marcia Gay Harden) and Best Direction of a Play (Matthew Warchus). The hilarious stage comedy revolves around the plot of a playground squabble between two boys and the resulting meeting between their parents, and the extension of the Yasmina Reza classic will take place until November 15 (the theater will go dark for six weeks beginning July 27 before starting up again.)
