Hexagon actors showcase play that once starred Jodie Foster and Kate Winslett

Stroud-based Hexagon Theatre Company’s next show at the Cotswold Playhouse is the award-winning ‘God of Carnage’ by Yasmina Reza.

This hilarious black comedy was made into a film. ‘Carnage’, starring Jodie Foster and Kate Winslett, and shows an attempt by two sets of Parisian middle class parents to settle an issue in a civilised manner which descends into chaos. A satire on how a veneer or civility can be stripped away by aggression which lies just beneath the surface, this short play provides a source of reflection as well as laughs.

Showing at 7.30 pm at the Cotswold Playhouse on 25, 26 and 27 April, the play contains offensive language and mild violence towards a mobile phone and a bunch of tulips. No hamsters were harmed during production.
