Peru, Nebraska- The Peru Theatre Company presented the biting comedy, “God of Carnage” in late October.
“God of Carnage played from October 25 through October 30 in the Jindra Fine Arts
Black Box Theatre.
“God of Carnage” is a Tony Award winning comedy by Yasmina Reza that belies its basic
premise of two sets of parents meeting to discuss a playground fight between their
children to provide what the New York Times describes as “the cathartic release of
watching other people’s marriages go boom.”
The play featured a small ensemble with Peru State Theatre Company members Ethan
Fricke, Tristan Petz, Wesley McCord and Theresa Woods. It was directed by Laura Lippman,
assistant professor of theatre, with assistance from Shannon Morgan.
