That follows Link’s break up with his wife, Cookie (who...

   Is Topdog/Underdog a good play?

   • Topdog/Underdog is a welcome return and a thorough display of Suzan Lori-Parks' powerful pen and Leon's deep talent. It is a grateful revisiting of a classic work that should remain throned in the American theater cannon.

   What is Topdog/Underdog about?

   • Directed by Kenny Leon (who nabbed a Tony in 2014 for his A Raisin in the Sun ), Topdog/Underdog lays bare the push and pull of American aspirationalism. The play, about two Black brothers wrestling with their history of parental abandonment and desire for economic stability, is airy and oblique.

   Who won the Pulitzer Prize for Topdog & Underdog?

   • Their condition — a clear allegory for the condition of Black people in America — is akin to purgatory, and the play’s setting in the “here” and “now” makes Leon’s production all the more uncanny and haunting. In 2002, Parks won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Topdog/Underdog, becoming the first African-American woman to win in that category.

   What makes Topdog/Underdog a good play?

   • The confidence radiating from both performances keeps Topdog/Underdog, a play with a winking eagerness to elude meaning, light, electric and most of all funny. Lincoln and Booth verbally tussle and make up, mocking each other in the same breath as they express love.
