God of Carnage

Yasmina Reza's wickedly funny and brutally honest play comes to life at the historic Stadium Theatre Performing Arts Centre in Woonsocket. God of Carnage strips away the polished veneer of polite society as two sets of parents meet to resolve a schoolyard altercation between their children — only to watch their own civility dissolve into glorious chaos. What begins as a reasonable adult conversation spirals into an uproarious evening of recriminations, shifting alliances, and very good Scotch. Widely celebrated as one of the most electrifying comedies of the modern stage, God of Carnage delivers four powerhouse performances in an intimate, pressure-cooker setting. The play's genius lies in its scalding wit and psychological precision — you'll find yourself laughing loudly one moment and uncomfortably self-aware the next. With multiple performances running throughout May 2026, audiences have ample opportunity to witness every perfectly timed outburst and devastating put-down. The Stadium Theatre Performing Arts Centre provides an intimate and elegant backdrop for this stage gem, ensuring every nuance and reaction lands with full force. Whether you're a seasoned theatergoer or discovering live drama for the first time, this production promises an unforgettable night of sharp writing, explosive performances, and uncomfortable truths wrapped in brilliant comedy.
