Topdog/Underdog

Two African-American blood brothers, named Lincoln and Booth as a joke by their father, share a one-room apartment with a bathroom down the hall. Booth aspires to be a successful three card monty hustler and Lincoln is proud to hold down a legitimate job. This brilliant script illuminates the African-American experience, locked in the embrace of history and family. New York Times critic Ben Brantley called this Pulitzer prize winner a “thrilling comic drama.”
