A Pulitzer-winning story of brotherhood
Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece Topdog/Underdog returns to Broadway on its 20th anniversary, with Tony Award nominee Corey Hawkins starring as one of two brothers coming to terms with their past.This dark but humorous story follows brothers Lincoln and Booth - named as a joke by their father.

As the game and their lives unfold, Booth and Lincoln must confront the ghosts and true nature of their pasts.
