*Directed by DAVID MALINOWSKI*

The first play of Chagrin Valley Little Theatre's 83rd Season, Yasmina 
Reza's Tony-winning GOD OF CARNAGE, opens on September 28. Originally 
written in French and translated by Christopher Hampton, GOD OF CARNAGE 
is a non-stop, high-strung comedy that examines the savage underside of 
seemingly civilized adults. Director David Malinowski brings this 
piercingly uproarious play to the CVLT main stage.

Prior to the events of the play, Benjamin Raleigh and Henry Novak, two 
11-year old boys, have had a playground fight that resulted in Henry 
losing a tooth. As the play begins, Benjamin's parents, Alan (David 
Malinowski / Matt Mortensen) and Annette (Evie Koh), are visiting the 
apartment of Henry's parents, Michael and Veronica (Mark DePompei and 
Dawn Hill) for a civil discussion about how to handle the situation. 
This well-intentioned meeting turns prickly as the gloves come off and 
the alcohol comes out, and peaceful discussion swiftly degenerates into 
arguments that spiral off into topics of misogyny, racial prejudice and 
homophobia. In short order, the insults are flying, spouses are turning 
against each other, and the unglued foursome expose their worst selves 
in a hilarious mixture of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and classic 
farce.

GOD OF CARNAGE took home the Tony Award for Best Play and became 
Broadway's third-longest running play of the past decade (after The 39 
Steps and August: Osage County). Roman Polanski directed the 2011 film 
adaptation, entitled "Carnage", which featuring Jodie Foster, John C. 
Reilly, Christoph Waltz and Kate Winslet. Tickets for GOD OF CARNAGE are 
$16 regular, $12 for students and seniors. The play is recommended for 
adult audiences due to mature language. Performances are Fridays and 
Saturdays at 8 PM, September 28 - October 20.

Tickets are available by phone at 440-247-8955, Monday through Saturday 
from 1-6 PM and on the theatre's website at CVLT.org around the clock. 
Chagrin Valley Little Theater is located at 40 River Street in historic 
Chagrin Falls Village, and is generously funded by Cuyahoga County 
residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and supported by the Ohio 
Arts Council.
