Matthew Warchus will reprise his directing duties for the Broadway production of Yasmina Reza's God of Carnage, which he previously helmed at London's Gielgud Theatre earlier this year. Theater, casting, and performance dates will be announced shortly.

The play, which features a translation by Christopher Hampton, is about a schoolyard dispute and its aftermath. Ralph Fiennes and Janet McTeer headed up the London cast, but an all-American cast is being planned for the Broadway mounting.

Reza's Art won the Tony Award for Best Play, and her prior Broadway work also includes Life X 3. Warchus is currently represented on Broadway by Boeing-Boeing, for which he received a Tony nomination, and previously helmed the Broadway productions of both of Reza's plays, as well as revivals of Follies and True West.
