'A crackling night of electrifying comic acting'
Daily Telegraph
'I found myself delighted by Yasmina Reza's incisive observation, her acerbic wit, her shrewd humour and her stunning cast'
The Times
'All four actors excel in Matthew Warchus's deft production which is full of delights'
The Guardian
Ralph Fiennes, Tamsin Greig, Janet McTeer and Ken Stott - a truly amazing cast - join the award-winning creative team which brought you "ART" in Yasmina Reza's new sharp-edged play GOD OF CARNAGE, translated by Christopher Hampton and directed by Matthew Warchus.
What happens when two sets of parents meet up to deal with the unruly behaviour of their children? A calm and rational debate between grown-ups about the need to teach kids how to behave properly? Or a hysterical night of name-calling, tantrums and tears before bedtime?
Boys will be boys, but the adults are usually worse - much worse.

Now showing at Gielgud Theatre

Gielgud Theatre
Shaftesbury Avenue
London

This theatre, which is designed in Louis XVI style, is a pair with the Queen's Theatre on the adjacent street corner. Originally called The Hicks Theatre, after actor-manager Seymour Hicks for whom it was built, the name was changed to The Globe in July 1909, and then in November 1994 the name was changed to The Gielgud in honour of the actor, aswell as to avoid confusion with the reconstructed Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. The Gielgud Theatre, now refurbished in 1987, is notable for it's circular Regency staircase and oval gallery.

Terence Frisby's "There's A Girl in my Soup" opened here in 1966 and had a long run of 1,064 performances, a run that was not surpassed until Andrew Lloyd Webber's production of the comedy "Daisy Pulls it Off" opened in April 1983 and lasted 1,180 performances, this theatre's record for the longest run. In 1987 Peter Shaffer's sucessful play "Lettice and Lovage" opened, with Maggie Smith and Margaret Tyzack in the original cast, and run for 2 years. In 1992 a revival of Oscar Wilde's classic comedy, "An Ideal Husband", directed by Peter Hall opened here and enjoyed a successful run of 7 months, this production was then restaged in 1996 at the Haymarket Theatre, before it transferred to Broadway.
