TOPDOG/UNDERDOG by Suzan-Lori Parks

This darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family identity tells the story of two brothers, Lincoln (Manning) and Booth (Fenner), names given to them as a joke by their father. Haunted by the past and their obsession with the street con game, three-card monte, the brothers come to learn the true nature of their history.

The Gift Theatre’s Topdog/Underdog opens at Filament Theatre.
