Photo Flash: First Look at Fiona Hutchinson, Justin Deas et al. in GOD OF CARNAGE

Cape May Stage presents the 2009 Tony Award winner for Best Play: God of Carnage. Directed by Roy Steinberg (Guiding Light, Days of Our Lives) and starring John Viscardi, Michelle Eugene, Emmy nominee Fiona Hutchison (Guiding Light) and multiple Emmy winner Justin Deas (Guiding Light, Santa Barbara, As the World Turns), God of Carnage will opened Thursday, June 21 at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse on Bank and Lafayette Streets. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production photos below!

Frequently touted as a “comedy of manners without the manners,” Reza’s God of Carnage begins politely enough. When the urban professionals Alan and Annette meet over clafouti and tulips with liberally-minded Michael and Veronica to discuss their sons’ recent schoolyard altercation, a civilized afternoon gradually descends into juvenile silliness. The fissures in the façade of political correctness begin to show as thin-lipped barbs are volleyed back and forth. Couples begin as comrades, but as the day progresses into evening, new alliances are formed as those who were once compatriots become adversaries. In God of Carnage, Reza crafts a hilarious reminder that adults are sometimes no better behaved than their children.

God of Carnage runs now through Friday, August 3, Tuesdays through Sundays at 8 p.m. at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse at 405 Lafayette Street in downtown Cape May. Tickets are $35 adults, $30 seniors (62+), and $15 students. Call (609) 884-1341 for reservations and information, or visit the theatre’s website at www.capemaystage.org.
