Directed by Andrè Agius, this English-language production features a talented cast of local actors: Chris Dingli, Charlotte Grech, Chiara Hyzler, and Pierre Stafrace.

‘God of Carnage’ is a dark comedy celebrated as one of the most significant plays of the past two decades. It premiered in Zurich in 2006 before moving to Paris, where it won the prestigious Molière Award for Best Play. The play made its West End debut in 2008 with a star-studded cast including Ralph Fiennes, Tamsin Greig, Ken Stott, and Janet McTeer. Its 2009 Broadway debut featured Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini, and Marcia Gay Harden, further solidifying its global acclaim.

The narrative delves into the chaos that erupts when two sets of parents meet to discuss a playground altercation between their 11-year-old sons. As tensions escalate and civility disintegrates, the Olivier and Tony award-winning play offers a biting and hilarious critique of modern social dynamics and human behaviour.

Don’t miss this gripping exploration of the thin veneer of civilisation and the raw nature of parental conflict.
