Topdog/Underdog

Winner of the 2002 Pulitzer Prize, Suzan-Lori Parks’ Topdog/Underdog finally returns to San Francisco. Meet Lincoln and Booth, two brothers whose names were given to them as a joke. Booth wants to be a legendary three-card monte hustler like his brother; Lincoln is struggling to escape his criminal life by impersonating Abraham Lincoln in an arcade. Haunted by the past and obsessed with power, each clings to the other as if by static, but with that closeness comes a shocking electricity that threatens to destroy them.
