Yasmine Reza’s new comedy, God of Carnage, that is. According to the Sunday Times, and confirmed recently by Richard during his Triple J radio appearance on October 21, a new London production is being put together. Plans are for God of Carnage to run a brief regional tour before it starts in the West End.

God of Carnage previously enjoyed great success during its six week run in the spring at the Gielgud Theatre, with a cast led by Ralph Fiennes. The producers ended its limited run on a record breaking high ahead of a planned Broadway premiere in 2009.

The London production led by Richard will provide a second opportunity for London theatre-goers to see the play.

The story line of God of Carnage revolves around two sets of parents who meet to discuss a playground incident between their eleven year old sons.
