The show “God of Carnage” to go on stage

Shaahin Chegini is directing the play based on a Persian rendition by Puya Valilzadeh.

Helia Kushki, Samaneh Kamali, Amir Kordi, Ali Shayeqi, Dorsa Derakhshan, Mehdi Khalili, Kiana Hosseinpur, Mahshad Eslamzadeh and Mehdi Asadi are members of the cast.

The play first published in 2008 is about two sets of parents, one of whose child has hurt the other at a public park. 

They agree to meet to discuss the matter in a civilized manner. However, as the evening goes on, the parents become increasingly childish, resulting in the evening devolving into chaos. 

Two 11-year-old children, Ferdinand Reille and Bruno Vallon get involved in an argument because Bruno refuses to let Ferdinand join his “gang”. 

Ferdinand knocks out two of Bruno’s teeth with a stick. That night, the parents of both children meet to discuss the matter. Ferdinand’s father, Alain, is a lawyer who is never off his mobile phone. Ferdinand’s mother, Annette is in “wealth management”, and consistently wears good shoes.
