Two River Theater (John Dias, Artistic Director, Michael Hurst, Managing Director) presents Topdog/Underdog, written and directed by Suzan-Lori Parks, in the Rechnitz Theater, 21 Bridge Avenue, Red Bank, through September 30.
Topdog/Underdog is one of the most powerful dramas of our time. Acclaimed for its taut theatricality and surprising humor, the play tells the story of two brothers, Lincoln and Booth—names given to them as a joke by their father. Each day, Lincoln puts on a top hat and a fake beard and goes to work in a seedy arcade, where tourists come for the chance to shoot Honest Abe. Booth is obsessed with a street con game, three-card monte. Striving for a better life, bound by their love for each other, they are haunted by their own pasts—and our country’s history.
Tickets start at $24 and can be purchased here.
