God of Carnage: The Black Box Series
Sept. 15-Oct. 8
Described by Newsday as “brutally entertaining,” God of Carnage is a comedy of manners... without the manners. Don't miss the triple-Tony-Award-winning Broadway sensation by Yasmina Reza. The New Yorker calls this laugh-out-loud hilarity "ninety minutes of sustained mayhem." A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their principals in tatters.
“A streamlined anatomy of the human animal... delivers the cathartic release of watching other people’s marriages go boom. This play is itself a satisfyingly primitive entertainment.” –The New York Times
Blood Knot: The Black Box Series
Sept. 16-Oct. 9
Relatable and searingly intimate, Blood Knot asks us to dig beneath the surface of what makes us kin and what happens when we don’t like what we find there.

Written by renowned South African playwright Athol Fugard, Blood Knot is about the relationship between two biracial half-brothers: dark-skinned Zach and light-skinned Morris, who has recently returned home after passing as white for many years. The play follows the brothers as they grapple with crippling poverty and lonely isolation—living a strained existence in a one-room shack in apartheid South Africa. The brothers' desperation exposes the complex angles of their relationship in this powerful, revolutionary play, directed by Vickie Washington.

“...one of the best, and best-performed plays ever to be done Off Broadway.” -The New Yorker
