Topdog/Underdog - Softcover
Synopsis
A darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family identity. 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. Haunted by the past, the brothers are forced to confront the reality of their future.

Review
Exhilarating, funny but also devastatingly sad, presenting a vivid microcosm of both family relationships and the black experience in America today. --Telegraph
Suzan-Lori Parks has 'burst though every known convention to invent a new theatrical language, like a jive Samuel Beckett, while exploding American cultural myths and stereotypes along the way. --New York Observer
