God of Carnage

By Yasmina Reza

Translated by Christopher Hampton

May 2 – May 12, 2024

Directed by

Trent Dawson

Dive into a whirlpool of societal clashes, exposing the wild undercurrents lurking beneath the veneer of refined decorum. The 2009 Tony Winner for Best Play, Yasmina Reza’s darkly hilarious satire, GOD OF CARNAGE, unravels the thin veil of civility that masks our primal instincts. “Ms. Reza’s streamlined anatomy of the human animal incite the kind of laughter that comes from the gut, as involuntary as hiccups or belching” – The New York Times

For those traveling from New York City, the closest train station is North White Plains and Uber is available both to and from the theatre. Here are a few tips:
The North White Plains train station is approximately 11 minutes away from the theatre
It is recommended you allow approx. 15 minutes for an Uber to arrive so please plan and request accordingly.

FYI: If you are not already familiar with the North Castle Library’s location, sometimes there is an issue with the googling the library’s address (which is technically 19 EAST Whippoorwill Road, Armonk). It might help to input Amore Pizza,, which shares a parking lot with the library, to make sure you are headed to the right place.
