Thunderbird Garage Productions will present their inaugural production, Yasmina Reza's God of Carnage, opening September 13th in Los Angeles. Hoping to resolve the situation amicably, two married couples meet to discuss a violent altercation between their young sons. But as conflicting personalities and parenting styles collide, the polite facades unravel, revealing marital tensions and opposing life philosophies. God of Carnage is directed by Kim Quinn and will run for five weeks at the 905 Cole Theatre in Hollywood.
God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza, is a tragicomedy about two sets of parents who meet to discuss a physical altercation between their eleven-year-old sons. Initially cordial and respectful, the mood shifts, as discordant parenting styles, the burdens of marriage, and opposing philosophies of life are examined. Intelligently written with razor sharp wit and hilarity, God of Carnage is a searing look at relationships, parenthood, communication styles in the face of disagreement, and what happens when the masks we wear to hide our true identities come off. This production of God of Carnage was birthed when four friends who met in Larry Moss acting workshops decided to read the play during Covid. After months of continuing to work on the characters, and positive feedback from guests after an intimate reading of the play, the decision was made to put it on stage for LA audiences! “We felt these universal themes are as, if not more, important today than when the play was first produced,” says Kristian Kordula. “If the hope of an artist is to engender thought, conversation, and change, while also delivering an entertaining night of theater, then God of Carnage is our perfect vessel.”
