God of Carnage
Role : Director
Written by Yasmina Reza
Produced by the National Theatre of Malta, Teatru Manoel
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - "Delicious, brutal and 100% effective satire"
"This deterioration of the civilised front is central to the play, and Agius nails it.
His direction includes very simple staging that cleverly placed the focus entirely on the actors, amping up the physicality of their characters.
The effect is of four tigers, barely restrained in a cage.
The sense of unease is delicious, as is the guilty laughter that punctuates the entire production."
- The Times of Malta.
‘God of Carnage’ is an exceptional dark comedy and one of the most celebrated plays of the last two decades.
It premiered in Zurich in 2006 before moving to Paris, where it won the Molière Award for Best Play. The play made its West End debut in 2008 and since then it has been performed in theatres around the world, captivating audiences with its sharp wit and exploration of human behaviour.
The play takes you into the world of high-stakes parental conflict that delves into the chaos that ensues when two sets of parents come together to discuss a playground quarrel between their 11-year old sons. As tensions rise and civility crumbles, this Olivier and Tony award-winning play offers a hilarious and scathing commentary on modern social dynamics.
