The

story:  Two pairs of upper-middle class

parents, the Raleighs and the Novaks, meet to discuss a fight their 11-year-old

sons have had on the playground that resulted in two broken front teeth.

 The conversation begins in such a

civilized manner but, before long, the parents release their own

inner-childishness and this comedy of manners erupts into laugh-out-loud,

unbridled chaos.  As the façade of civility crumbles, the battles that

elevate the laughs are not just between two sets of parents but also between

husband and wife, men and women.

A

roller coaster ride of comic catastrophe, “God of Carnage” garnered both the

2009 Tony Award for Best Play and the Laurence Oliver Award for Best New

Comedy.  The original Broadway cast was

comprised of James Gandolfini, Marcia Gay Hardin, Hope Daniels and Jeff

Daniels.  Little Lake Theatre Company’s

cast includes Gregory Caridi as Michael Novak, a self-made hardware wholesaler;

Jennifer Sinatra as Veronica, Michael’s wife, who strives ardently to “do the

right thing” no matter the cost or carnage; Mary Liz Meyer as Annette Raleigh,

a women who walks a taut tightrope balancing the demands of motherhood, her

career in “wealth management” and panic attacks; and Art DeConciliis as Annette’s

husband, Alan, a hotshot attorney who may very well be in love with his own

cell phone.   Little Lake’s

Artistic Director, Sunny Disney Fitchett, directs.  Please note: 

There is an adult language advisory for this comedy.
