God of Carnage
by Yasmina Reza translated by Christopher Hampton
What begins as a rational discussion between grown-ups about their children’s unruly behavior on the playground, quickly devolves into a laugh-out-loud train wreck of finger-pointing, name-calling, tantrums, and tears.

"The directors and actors have to fend for themselves in recreating, say, a train and a plane crash. Even a door. In other words, expect almost no tech from the VSC’s tripartite staging, but a ton of creativity.
