Review: 'God of Carnage' ratchets up tension, comedy

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "If playwright Yasmina Reza invites you over for an intimate evening get-together, you might want to think twice.
The social encounters she depicts in 'Life X 3' and 'Art,' as well as 'God of Carnage,' which Pittsburgh Public Theater is now performing, begin well but have a way of going sour fast.
Reza enjoys prying up the thin veneer of social conventions and civilized behavior to explore the dark, uncivilized and barely suppressed behaviors that are just waiting to escape when we drop our guard.
