Review: (Ottawa) God of Carnage

The Carnage of Civility
by Jim Murchison 
@JimMurchison

The set is very simple. A modest, tasteful home with a smattering of furniture is all it is or needs to be. Art books are set in the middle of the modern white coffee table. Fresh tulips are added for a touch of elegance as visitors are coming.

You could set God of Carnage in any city. This play is set in modern day Paris but it could have easily been adapted to (insert your city here). The theme is so simple. Two 11-year old boys were in a fight and one was injured. The parents meet to discuss the incident...in a civilized manner.
