God of Carnage, Yasmina Reza

Just days before the cast changed, we took a quick, last-minute train trip to NYC for a matinee performance of God of Carnage with the play's Tony-winning cast: Hope Davis, James Gandolfini, Jeff Daniels, and Marcia Gay Harden. And neither the play nor the performances disappointed. (As it happened, this performance was recorded for the archives at NYPublic Library of Performing Arts.)

Tightly written, the script has clearly drawn characters and wit woven throughout. Similarly, the acting was crisp and impeccable. That said, I must add that this play doesn't reach for much emotional depth.

Recommend highly.

And we caught a train that got us back home for dinner at home.
