Topdog/Underdog by Suzan-Lori Parks

  • Birmingham Festival Theatre 1901 11th Avenue South Birmingham, AL, 35205 United States (map)

Directed by Carlton V Bell II

A darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family identity is Suzan-Lori Parks' latest riff on the way we are defined by history. The play tells the story of Lincoln and Booth, two brothers whose names were given to them as a joke, foretelling a lifetime of sibling rivalry and resentment. Haunted by the past, the brothers are forced to confront the shattering reality of their future.
