A play written by Yasmina Reza and translated by Christopher Hampton would definitely be something audience would look forward to, in particular if it won both the Tony and Laurence Olivier Award. And God of Carnage did not disappoint.
The play was about 2 couples, Alan & Anette, and Michael & Veronica. They met when the Alan/Anette's son beat up Michael/ Veronica's. What started out as a polite conversatoin turned ugly as the day went on.
The dialogue was pointed, sharp, witty and funny. And the cast delivered them well, in particular Adrian Pang who played Michael. He was the one trying to be polite to al but found the going tough. The other 3 actors - Arthur T. Acuna (Alan), Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo (Anette) and Lea Salonga (Veronica) each gave a credible performance.
And hey, where did the puke come from??
What a pleasure to see a play with a good script and marvellous acting. Recommended.
