“God of Carnage” Playing on Weekends

[clearboth] Kaua`i Community Players presents God of Carnage, winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play, written by Yasmina Reza. Laurel Petterson-McGraw directs; the cast consists of Jennifer Downs, Morgan Liddell, Cher Ellwood, and Dennis McGraw.

Two professional New York couples meet to discuss a playground altercation between their 11-year-old sons. At first, they observe diplomatic niceties; but then, the gloves come off, causing The New Yorker to call it “…a dark and hilarious farce.”

The play opened May 3 in a special performance and continues for three weekends on Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m., closing on Sunday, May 20. Performances are at the Puhi Theatrical Warehouse, located 100 yards behind the Harley Davidson Store.
