The second production of this year’s Chadron State College’s theatre season is rapidly approaching. “God of Carnage,” opens just a week from today.

“God of Carnage” is a drama about two sets of parents who meet to discuss their sons. Michael and Veronica, played by James Steele, freshman of Lincoln, and Erin Neal, senior of Crawford, ask Alan and Annette, played by Michael Kruger, senior of Gordon, and Hannah Clark, sophomore of Littleton, Colo. to their home to discuss how Alan and Annette’s son has attacked theirs. Though the meeting starts in a civilized manner, it quickly dissolves into irrational arguments about misogyny, racial prejudice, and homophobia.

“God of Carnage,” originally a French production by Yasmina Reza, has been successful in both its original French as well as English. In 2011, it was adapted into a movie “Carnage” directed by Roman Polanski.

The play opens Thursday, Nov. 15, and plays through Sunday, Nov. 18. To reserve tickets to the show, call 432-6360, or email [email protected].
