Topdog/Underdog
Newmont Stage at the BMO Theatre Centre, 162 W. 1st, Vancouver A MODERN FABLE OF BATTLING BROTHERS
African-American brothers Lincoln and Booth—birth names given as a joke that sets up an intense rivalry—share a seedy, one-room apartment and are looking for easy money in cards. Things are tight and only get tighter when their competition grows and their lies exceed their truths. When there isn’t room for both to succeed, who will come out on top?
