Yasmina reza god of carnage review

          God of Carnage is an extremely well-written dark comedy, with themes that are still relevant 15 years on.

        1. So now, finally, I can say I enjoyed Reza's play.
        2. The performances – slick across the board – are arch, even hammy, with big, swinging arm gestures and exaggerated movement.
        3. This is a very black comedy that I've heard criticized as entitled people Behaving Badly.
        4. Lucy Carter reviews Yasmina Reza's God of Carnage, which will be performed at the Lyric Hammersmith until 30 September.

          5. The performances – slick across the board – are arch, even hammy, with big, swinging arm gestures and exaggerated movement....
