TOPDOG/UNDERDOG by Suzan-Lori Parks
DRAMATIC REPERTORY COMPANY presents the Maine Premiere of the 2002 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama.
This electrifying drama about the gritty lives of two street savvy hustlers resonated through the theatre world. Lincoln and Booth bear the weight of black history and the names of white men, given to them by their father as a joke before he (like their mother) walked away. Left to their wiles and their bravado, the brothers never stop conning the suckers on the street and, ultimately, each other in this darkly funny hit about family grievances, wounds and healing.
"...an utterly mesmerizing evening of theater...the vitality, freshness and gritty lyricism of Parks' writing are unlike anything to be heard on a Broadway Stage..."
- Variety
"...[a] vibrant comic drama of shifting identity and betrayal...from the ferociously talented author of In the Blood and The America Play..."
- New York Times
"The issues are gripping, the characters are dynamite...a must-see play."
- BackStage
