Original cast of 'God of Carnage' are reuniting

[January 13, 2011]  LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The original Broadway cast of the Tony Award-winning "God of Carnage" will reunite for a six-week run at the Ahmanson Theatre.

Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden -- together with director Matthew Warchus -- are set to resume their darkly comic domestic battles from April 5 through May 15.

The play, by "Art" playwright Yasmina Reza, is set in a gentrified section of Brooklyn where two married couples meet to sort out a playground fight between their sons. The meeting soon spirals out of control.

All the actors were nominated for Tonys in 2009 and Harden took home the best actress prize.
