Yasmina Reza
French playwright whose Art became the most commercially successful French play in theater history, translated into 35 languages. God of Carnage showed the veneer of civilization stripped away in a parents' meeting gone wrong. Her plays are elegantly constructed machines for revealing bourgeois self-deception.
