Suzan-Lori Parks' Pulitzer Prize-winning play returns to Broadway for its 20th anniversary. A darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family identity, Topdog/Underdog tells the story of two siblings, Lincoln (Tony nominee Corey Hawkins) and Booth (Emmy winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), 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. Tony winner Kenny Leon (A Raisin in the Sun) directs.
