This production celebrates Dark & Stormy’s 10th Anniversary

"Thinking again of those classic dramas about the economically comfortable but miserable, this one is a lot like Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” But “God of Carnage” is a much more egalitarian affair — the guests contributing as much to the conflict as the hosts — and a far funnier one. And you’re unlikely to experience a better production of it than this."

— Rob Hubbard, Pioneer Press

"'God of Carnage,' which the Guthrie Theater produced in 2011, is smart about human foibles and this production is beautifully acted. The Gremlin stage is democratic — its layout and up-close-ness give us freedom to decide what to look at — and that pays off with these actors, who are all so dialed in that it's fun to watch the energy they shoot at each other with their eyes even when they're not directly involved in the conversational moment."

— Chris Hewitt, Star Tribune

"There was a pretty good house for opening night of God of Carnage, the latest offering from Dark & Stormy Productions, which has set up camp at the intimate Gremlin Theatre in Saint Paul. Once word gets out about the quality of this searing production, its quartet of primo actors all doing stellar work, and the punch packed by this 2009 Tony Award winning play that has even more to say about our society today than it did a dozen years ago, there should be nary an empty seat."

— Arthur Dorman, Talkin’ Brodway

"The actors were all talented and had great chemistry with each other...It was a great production and the audience really enjoyed it. I would recommend seeing this production while you can! We are lucky that this comedy is here in the Twin Cities."

— Jared Fessler, Broadway World

“The sharply written four-person play is perfectly cast with some of #TCTheater's best actors, which makes for a very entertaining evening. Pair it with libations from Lake Monster Brewing next door and food from their rotating schedule of food trucks, enjoyed on their outdoor patio, and you have a practically perfect late summer night out.”

— Jill Schafer, Cherry and Spoon
