Reno, NV.  Brüka Theatre presents The God Of Carnage, written by Yasmina Reza and adapted by Christopher Hampton.  Tony DeGeiso directs this wickedly funny play that asks what happens when two sets of parents meet up to deal with the unruly behavior 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?   This Tony award winning 90-minute dark comedy enjoyed a successful run on Broadway in 2009 – 2010 and enjoys its Nevada debut at Brüka Theatre.  Described as a comedy of manners without manners, The God Of Carnage features actors Bradford Ka’ai’ai, Kristin Moffitt, Gary Cremeans and Mary Bennett behaving badly in bad circumstances. Strong language.  Suggested for mature audiences only.  (Ages 15 and over).

The God of Carnage opens Friday, May 4, 2012 followed by a post show opening night champagne reception.
