Theater Breaking Through Barriers, the only 0ff-Broadway and one of the few theaters in the country dedicated to advancing the work of professional artists with disabilities, has done it again with Yasmina Reze’s Tony Award winning GOD OF CARNAGE. Two sets of parents (David Burtka, Carey Cox, Gabe Fazion and Christiane Noll) have arranged a meeting to discuss the altercation between their sons. The meeting starts off civilized enough with mostly concealed hostility and a bit of erudite sparring for the position of being right. However, as the encounter progresses, true personalities emerge, politeness is abandoned, and the confrontation disintegrates into a delightful melee of madness, removing any doubt that a GOD OF CARNAGE is present. With impressive comedic timing and fast- paced direction by Nicholas Viselli, GOD OF CARNAGE becomes a 90-minute expose of the baser elements of humanity.
