Yasmina Reza’s Award-winning comedy ART has started its Australian tour in Sydney.

Wildly surprising and deliciously savage, Yasmina Reza's machete-edged 2006 dark comedy GOD OF CARNAGE—here directed by Marco Barricelli and continues performances at OC's South Coast Repertory through March 21, 2026—has to be one of the most ferocious dissections of modern-day performative civility ever to grace the stage—an 80-minute, intermission-less pressure cooker that gleefully burns away the polite veneer of bourgeois adulthood to reveal the petulant, immature children actually lurking just beneath. Boosted by a foursome of terrific actors, the play endures as entertainingly voyeuristic in its unsettling relatability. SCR's outstanding production is a brilliantly observed theatrical skirmish—equal parts comedy of manners and psychological boxing match with no clear winners or losers.

Theatrical Outfit’s world premier BLEEDING HEARTS written by Atlanta playwright Steve Yockey and directed by Sean Daniels starts with ferocious comedic momentum that feels equal parts Oscar Wilde on SNL, the 2014 Adult Swim cult TOO MANY COOKS, and a virtul signalers wrestling match.
