When faced with conflict, children can often lash out. That’s what happens on the playground, when 11-year-olds Henry and Benjamin get into a fight. Wanting to set a good example for the children, their parents come together to discuss the incident, and try to settle things in a civilized manner. 

They try. 

But civility is just a word, and one that is quickly forgotten when you’re standing at the precipice, where the slightest breeze will send all tumbling down. And it’s looking pretty windy.

Auditions for KWLT’s production of God of Carnage will be held August 24–26 at 44 Gaukel Street in downtown Kitchener, 2–5pm on the Sunday and 7–10pm on Monday & Tuesday.
