MARLBOROUGH, N.H. (MyKeeneNow) Branch River Theatre is set to deliver six electrifying performances of Yasmina Reza’s Tony Award-winning play “God of Carnage,” translated by Christopher Hampton and directed by Sophia Olsen. The show will run at the Marlborough Community House on Feb. 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, and March 2.

Evening performances will begin at 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m. Matinee performances are scheduled for 2 p.m., with doors opening at 1:30 p.m.

“God of Carnage” offers an unforgettable night of dark comedy and intense drama. The story follows two sets of parents who meet to discuss a playground altercation between their children. What starts as a civil conversation quickly spirals into chaos as polite facades crumble, revealing raw emotions, razor-sharp wit, and unexpected truths. Audiences can expect an edge-of-their-seat experience filled with laughter, discomfort, and reflection on what it truly means to be “grown-up.”

Cast A:
Alan: Patrick Caron
Annette: Jen Zakrzewski
