Kerikeri Theatre Company Presents
GOD OF CARNAGE
A comedy of manners without the manners.
DIRECTED BY VIVIAN THONGER
NEW DATES ADDED!
Kerikeri Theatre Company is excited to present GOD OF CARNAGE, May 1st – 10th at the Black Box Theatre!
Get ready for an unfiltered battle of wits and egos as two seemingly civilised couples meet to discuss a playground fight between their children. What starts as a polite conversation quickly spirals into chaos, conflict, and unexpected hilarity, revealing the fragile mask of social niceties.
Winner of the Tony and Olivier Award for Best Play, God of Carnage is a “comedic masterpiece” (NY Times) that has captivated audiences worldwide with its sharp wit, biting satire, and brutally honest look at human nature. Expect razor-sharp dialogue, gripping performances from a stellar cast, and a rollercoaster of emotions in this fast-paced comedy that will leave you laughing, cringeing, and questioning your own instincts.
