God of Carnage

What happens when four parents try to settle the score after their sons get involved in a fight? The answer: absolute, uncontrollable chaos. Watch the drama ensue in Nine Years Theatre’s adaptation of Yasmina Reza’s award-winning dark comedy play, God of Carnage. Directed by Nelson Chia, the story follows two couples as they meet at the park to discuss their 11-year-old children’s quarrel. What begins as a peaceful, polite conversation turns into a messy meltdown as the adults get into heated arguments about parenthood, life, and more. Originally written in French, this play is translated into Mandarin, with English surtitles available. The performance features a local ensemble of experienced theatre and TV stars, which includes Mia Chee, Oon Shu An, Cavin Soh and Tay Kong Hui.

The English translation of God of Carnage debuted at London’s West End in 2008, before the production moved to Broadway for the American audience a year later. The play has also seen a number of adaptations in countries such as Germany, Slovenia, Spain, Ireland, Chile, Belgium, and more.
