Topdog/Underdog

Show Information

Brothers Lincoln and Booth, named in jest, are two Black men living in America just trying to get by. Lincoln dresses like his namesake, reenacting his assassination for money and laughs. Booth stays stuck in their apartment, working tirelessly on his three-card hustle. Sibling rivalry and a lifetime of resentment come to a head in this fast-paced and ferocious thrill ride from Suzan-Lori Parks. The deck is stacked with a Tony Award-winning director, a Pulitzer Prize-winning script and a tour-de-force showdown for ensemble members Glenn Davis and Namir Smallwood.

* Content Warning: This production includes strong adult language, racist and sexist language, a moment of graphic violence and simulated gunfire, sexually suggestive dialogue, simulated masturbation, materials and props of graphic sexual nature. *
