WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Suzan-Lori Parks arrives on Broadway with her darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family identity. Topdog/Underdog tells the story of two brothers, Lincoln and Booth, names given to them as a joke by their father. 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. George C. Wolfe directs this production, which stars Jeffrey Wright and Mos Def.
