Description
Bursting with big ideas and exuberance, Topdog/Underdog is a thrilling comic drama of brotherly love and family identity.
Lincoln and Booth, abandoned by their parents and accustomed to betrayal and loss, engage in a dizzying dance of brotherly love and power.
Haunted by the past and their obsession with the street con game three-card monte, the brothers come to learn the true nature of their history and the shattering reality of their future.
For Lincoln and Booth, to live is to con, and for them it's always show time.
Written with great suppleness and agility, Topdog/Underdog is infused with percussion, from the rhythm of the card game to the rhythm of its street poetry language.
Playwright Suzan-Lori Parks, a MacArthur Award-winner, is the first African-American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama.
Director George C. Wolfe skillfully leads the company as he did for New York's Public Theater and Broadway engagements.
