"God of Carnage" (MTC)

An entertaining assault on bourgeois hypocrisies and mores generally with a bit of a dark streak (which comes with the territory - and, indeed, is probably essential to the success of any play or other work in this vein) running through it. For mine, this play is something of a one-trick pony, but it's intelligently put together and genuinely sharp-edged, and was well performed (Hugo Weaving a stand out), so I enjoyed it nonetheless.
