"The Greatest American play since Angels in America" --New York Times

A darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family identity. Topdog/Underdog tells the story of two brothers, Lincoln and Booth. Their names, given to them by their father as a joke, foretell a lifetime of mutual antagonism and resentment. Haunted by the past and their obsession with the street con game, three-card monte, the brothers are forced to confront the shattering reality of their future.
