Next up in Theatre in the Round's 73rd season: the "people behaving badly" dark comedy
God of Carnage. There have been several local productions of the 2009 Tony winner, most recently by
Dark & Stormy in 2022. But this play that I've called "a tightly wound, intense, darkly hilarious four-person play about what happens when our baser natures come to the surface" is worth another visit. These people don't get any more likeable, if anything the reveal of their inner natures is even more vile with each passing year, but Theatre in the Round has assembled a great cast, and their in-the-round staging brings something unique. This play shows us what happens when people say the quiet part out loud, which maybe should have stayed quiet.
See it now through April 28, and be prepared to laugh, cringe, and maybe even uncomfortably see yourself a little in these people.
