Topdog/Underdog - Paperback

by Suzan-Lori Parks (Author)

This darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family identity is Suzan-Lori Parks' groundbreaking, Pulitzer-winning 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.
