West Australian Premiere

When two sets of parents gather together to sort out who is responsible for one child’s attack on the other, mayhem ensues. Any survivor of the politics of playgroups will thoroughly enjoy this hilarious exposé of parents behaving far worse than their children over a playground altercation. Under a thinly disguised veil of civility, the parents resort to childish games and toddler-like aggression. This delightful comedy is a must see for anyone who fancies a light-hearted night at the theatre.

God of Carnage is Black Swan State Theatre Company’s first co-production with Queensland Theatre Company. Michael Gow, Artistic Director of QTC, acclaimed director and playwright and winner of numerous awards will direct this comedy of manners (or should we say, bad manners?).
