Cool Play with Scary Name
There is a cool play on Broadway now called God of Carnage. The name sounds terrifying, but actually it’s a comedy. It is in fact a French comedy play. Now, French comedy isn’t necessarily for anyone, because it is kind of cerebral. But it is actually pretty cool. It is about the families of two boys who basically got into a fight over a game called “God of Carnage” at school. The parents of these two boys come together and it is a literal clash of personalities. They are just different kinds of people and aren’t all that interested in understanding one another. There’s the blue collar father married to the leftist activist mother, and the lawyer father with his controlling wife. Suddenly, the boys don’t seem so stupid and childish anymore.
