The story of two couples who meet to attempt to discuss how to handle the fight their sons got into, that quickly devolves into a full-on brawl of its own.
Set in present-day New York City, 'God of Carnage' is the story of two married couples who meet shortly after their respective sons have a nasty schoolyard tangle. Michael and Veronica, whose son’s teeth were knocked out with a stick, invite Alan and Annette, whose son did the knocking, to their home to settle matters. But any attempt at having a civilized discussion about whose child is responsible for the fight, and how the parents may have influenced such destructive behavior, quickly devolves into finger-pointing, name-calling, stomping around and throwing things.
