Book Synopsis

What happens when two sets of parents meet up to deal with the unruly behaviour of their children? A calm and rational debate between grown-ups about the need to teach ids how to behave properly? Or a hysterical night of name-calling, tantrums and tears before bedtime?

Boys will be boys, but the adults are usually worse - much worse.

Christopher Hampton''s translation of Yasmina Reza''s sharp-edged play God of Carnage premiered at the Gielgud Theatre, London, in March 2008. Christopher Hampton has translated five plays by Yasmina Reza: ''Art'', The Unexpected Man, Conversations after a Burial, Life x 3 and God of Carnage.

Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Play.
Winner of the 2009 Olivier Award for Best Comedy.
