Topdog/Underdog

Two black brothers are obsessed with a street con card game and haunted by their names, Lincoln and Booth, given to them as a joke by their father. During the course of this darkly comic and ferociously exciting drama, they come to learn how history can repeat itself while playing out its old game of who’s on top. Top Dog/Underdog is the recipient of the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
