‘Deeply absorbing.’
‘Hilarious, tragic and above all sincere.’
ABOUT THE SHOW
An iconic piece of contemporary writing that won the Pulitzer Prize, Suzan-Lori Parks’s hilarious, vibrant and moving Topdog/Underdog follows two brothers as they wrestle with the realities of the American Dream.
Lincoln and Booth are hustling to make ends meet: Lincoln as a whiteface Abraham Lincoln impersonator and Booth as petty thief and wannabe card-game hustler. What unfolds reveals siblings that are haunted by their past, unsure of their future, and bonded by history, familiarity and mistrust.
Topdog/Underdog’s recent Broadway return saw it win a coveted Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, and celebrated Parks as one of Time Magazine’s Top 100 Most Influential People.
Directed by Bert LaBonté and starring Damon Manns and Ras-Samuel, Topdog/Underdog deftly weaves between sharp, incisive comedy and tragedy, dealing a final hand that moves so fast, you’ve got no choice but to keep up.
