OPEN AUDITIONS – GOD OF CARNAGE BY YASMINA REZA BISHOPBRIGGS

Description

PROJECT:
God of Carnage
Tony and Olivier Award-winning comedy by Yasmina Reza

Two sets of parents meet to discuss a playground fight between their sons. What begins as a civilised conversation unravels into one of the funniest, sharpest portraits of adult behaviour in modern theatre. It is a brilliantly written play with four substantial roles, and a real treat to perform.
