ABOUT THE SHOW

Hilarious and harrowing Suzan-Lori Parks's prize-winning Topdog/Underdog is a darkly comic fable about making the most of the cards you're dealt.

Impoverished brothers Lincoln and Booth - jokingly named by their deadbeat father after Abraham Lincoln and the man who shot him stage actor John Wilkes Booth - make money through precarious means: Lincoln as a whiteface Abraham Lincoln impersonator at the arcade and Booth as a card-game hustler.

Haunted by their past sibling rivalry gives way to deeper resentment as they uncover their true history.

Hailed as a great contemporary classic 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 legend of the stage Bert LaBont© and starring Damon Manns and Ras-Samuel Topdog/Underdog deftly moves between vaudevillian comedy and tragedy in a single perfect act.
