Topdog/Underdog

When & where

About this event

Broadway director Steve H. Broadnax III returns to the Globe after last season's thrilling Appropriate to direct an intimate new staging of Suzan-Lori Parks's Pulitzer Prize-winning modern classic, which The New York Times hailed as the greatest American play of the past 25 years. Brothers Lincoln and Booth hustle for survival through the street con game of three-card monte. Their bond is tested by rivalry, resentment, and the elusive promise of the American Dream. By turns funny, provocative, and charged, Topdog/Underdog charts the razor-thin line between ambition and self-destruction. Topdog/Underdog is supported by Lead Production Sponsors Dr. Ronald and Mrs. Ruth W. Leonardi and The David Martin Finkelstein Trust. Single tickets go on sale Friday, August 7, 2026 at 1:00 p.m.
