God of Carnage – presented by The Compass

God of Carnage – presented by The Compass

Compass Theatre Group returns in Yasmin Reza’s hilarious comedy of manners without the manners! What begins as a polite meeting between two sets of parents quickly spirals into a riotous evening of finger-pointing, name-calling, and emotional mayhem. When Fergus knocks out Bruce’s teeth in a playground scuffle, their parents gather to resolve the matter like adults. But civility is short-lived, and the masks of middle-class decorum slip with delicious speed. Yasmina Reza’s God of Carnage is a masterclass in dark comedy—an unflinching look at the fragile veneer of social niceties and the primal instincts that lurk just beneath. As the evening unfolds, alliances shift, tempers flare, and the living room becomes a battleground of wit, wine, and wounded pride. Winner of the Olivier and Tony Awards for Best Play, this razor-sharp satire is as hilarious as it is unsettling. With its rapid-fire dialogue and escalating tension, God of Carnage exposes the absurdity of modern adulthood and the chaos that ensues when the gloves come off. Join us for an unforgettable night of theatrical fireworks, where the only thing more explosive than the arguments… is the laughter. God of Carnage is a local amateur production, directed by Scott Hutchison.
