This fine play by Yasmina Reza is both funny and poignant. It is beautifully translated into English. However the experience of reading it aloud in our play reading group made me want to read it in French as well. It worked well to be read aloud in such a group. I gave it four instead of five stars only because the play did not seem to be deeply embeded in current French culture, which may only be due to the translation. I would really call it 4 1/2 stars.Get more detail about The God of Carnage: A Play (Ff Plays).
