Following the successful run of Twelve Angry Men in November 2025, Nine Years Theatre proudly presents another transcreation work, God of Carnage, in March 2026.
What begins as a polite meeting between two sets of parents, hoping to “peacefully resolve” their sons’ fight, quickly spirals out of control. In Yasmina Reza’s acclaimed, razor-sharp dark comedy God of Carnage, the play exposes just how thin the veneer of adulthood really is. The play has received international acclaim, including the Tony Award for Best Play.
Synopsis
Two boys in a park scuffle. Four well-meaning adults meet to talk. What could possibly go wrong?
In God of Carnage, a simple meeting between two sets of parents, hoping to “peacefully resolve” their sons’ fight, spirals spectacularly out of control. Polite smiles crack, civilities crumble, and a night that begins with pastries and good intentions descends into chaos, candour, and comic catastrophe.
Nine Years Theatre brings you Yasmina Reza’s acclaimed, razor-sharp dark comedy that reveals how thin the veneer of adulthood truly is. Under award-winning director Nelson Chia’s signature precision, and with strong performances from an experienced ensemble — led by NYT co-founder Mia Chee, multi-disciplinary actor-writer-host Oon Shu An, Mediacorp multi-hyphenate artist Cavin Soh, and seasoned stage and film actor Tay Kong Hui — their distinct performance energies collide to create sharp, compelling tension. This work animates every shift, crack, and eruption, drawing audiences into a sharply observed battle of pride, parenting, and personal truth.
Come witness the elegant meltdown.
It’s messy. It’s funny. It’s painfully human.
Duration: approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, no intermission
