God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza was a funny yet very realistic play (in some ways). I love how they play at the idea that we, as adults, often describe children as being unrefined and sometimes lacking of social etiquette but in our most basic senses we can become as uncivilized.

There were a moment in which I thought Michael, played by Trey Snow, broke character. They were all sitting around the table and he snickered while listening to the conversation that Allan was having and while the wives were talking. I wasn’t sure if that was a break in character or not. It was a funny scene but in my
