Yasmina Reza’s God of Carnage presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. is heading to Stoke Repertory Theatre in Staffordshire this February.
God of Carnage takes place in real-time and features only four characters – two sets of parents who come together for a civilized meeting after their young sons are involved in a playground brawl. However, as the evening goes on, the parents become increasingly childish, resulting in the evening unravelling into chaos. God of Carnage is a satirical play which explores the complex world of modern parents and delivers an evening of theatre you do not want to miss.

About Stoke Repertory Theatre
The idea to have a new, purpose-built theatre was created following the destruction of the Empire Theatre in Longton by fire on New Year’s Eve 1992 after plans to purchase this wonderful period property came to an abrupt end. Fund Raising had started by the Rep members in 1991 and the new build project received the help of the Arts Council, a National Lottery grant, the support of the City Council, funds raised by the membership and the generous sponsorship of numerous local companies and businesses.
On November 7th 1997, at a Gala Evening, The Players were proud to open a brand new 250 seat theatre in Leek Road, Stoke-on-Trent. It was opened by the guest of honour, the Right Honourable Mark Fisher MP, Minister for The Arts.
The Rep is a Limited Company with charitable status. It is operated and staffed by volunteers and receives no annual funding or grants from National Arts bodies or the City Council. It continues to be the the home of amateur theatre company, The Stoke on Trent Repertory Players, 2021 marked the Centenary of this group of dedicated performers.
