Two boys in a park scuffle. Four well-meaning adults meet to talk. What could possibly go wrong?
In God of Carnage, a simple meeting between two sets of parents, hoping to “peacefully resolve” their sons’ fight, spirals spectacularly out of control. Polite smiles crack, civilities crumble, and a night that begins with pastries and good intentions descends into chaos, candour, and comic catastrophe.
Nine Years Theatre brings you Yasmina Reza’s acclaimed, razor-sharp dark comedy that reveals how thin the veneer of adulthood truly is. Under award-winning director Nelson Chia’s signature precision, and with strong performances from an experienced ensemble — led by NYT co-founder Mia Chee, multi-disciplinary actor-writer-host Oon Shu An, Mediacorp multi-hyphenate artist Cavin Soh, and seasoned stage and film actor Tay Kong Hui — their distinct performance energies collide to create sharp, compelling tension. This work animates every shift, crack, and eruption, drawing audiences into a sharply observed battle of pride, parenting, and personal truth.
Come witness the elegant meltdown.
It’s messy. It’s funny. It’s painfully human.
