God of Carnage&nbsp;
by Yasmina Reza 
translated by Christopher Hampton 
Join us for a staged-reading of this razor-sharp internationally acclaimed, Tony Award and Olivier Award-winning comedy. &nbsp;When two sets of parents get together to discuss a fight their sons had in a park, civility swiftly descends into savage childishness.&nbsp;God of Carnage&nbsp;is witty, biting, with sparkling dialogue and keen observations about marriage, parenting, and human nature. This dark comedy adeptly illustrates how beneath every polished exterior lies the potential for complete mayhem.
This event is free and open to the public!

Led by Thomas Abbenante, MD, a board-certified sleep physician, and Amanda Ciampini, APRN, the program provides comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for a wide range of sleep conditions. Patients can receive care for sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome, circadian rhythm disorders, and other sleep disturbances that affect daily life, mood, and long-term health. Quality sleep is closely connected to mental wellness, energy levels, concentration, and physical health. Through personalized treatment plans, modern diagnostic approaches, and evidence-based therapies—including CPAP management, medical treatment, and behavioral sleep strategies—our goal is to help patients improve sleep quality and restore healthy sleep patterns. The sleep program is available at Waterstone’s Madison and Hamden locations, making specialized sleep care more accessible to individuals throughout shoreline Connecticut and the greater New Haven region.
