Topdog/Underdog at People's Light & Theatre Company September 16, 2026 - October 11, 2026

A Pulitzer Prize winner from celebrated playwright Suzan-Lori Parks, Topdog/Underdog is a darkly comic fable of brotherly love. The play tells the story of siblings Lincoln and Booth, whose names, given to them as a joke, foretell a lifetime of deep-seated rivalry and resentment. Haunted by their own past and the weight of their namesakes, the two men must confront their future in a story that takes a searing look at manhood and family identity. Company Artist Akeem Davis stars in this production, helmed by acclaimed Philadelphia director Amina Robinson. Topdog/Underdog is co-produced with Arden Theatre Company.
