GOD OF CARNAGE

30th and 31st October

Elaine and Annette’s son hit Michael and Veronica’s son in the face with a stick, resulting in two broken teeth. The four of them agree to discuss the incident civilly, but, as the afternoon wears on and drinks are imbibed, the polite veneer breaks down. The couples initially spar against each other, but by the end, it's every man or woman for themselves.

Originally written for two heterosexual couples, this new take with a lesbian couple adds new dynamism, where flirtatiousness gives way to maliciousness and the God of Carnage is a bitch!
