A first look at Topdog/Underdog starring Brandon & Jason Dirden
The Two River Theater is ready to premiere its first play of the season. To hype up the play before opening night on Friday September 14th, the theater company has released some photos and a promo video.
Topdog/Underdog is one of the most powerful dramas in the American theater.
Acclaimed for its taut theatricality and surprising humor, Topdog/Underdog play tells the story of two brothers, Lincoln and Booth-names given to them as a joke by their father.
Topdog/Underdog is Two River Theater’s first play on the season.
The production will star real-life brothers Brandon J. Dirden as Lincoln. Jason Dirden plays Booth.
Each day, Lincoln puts on a top hat and a fake beard. He goes to work in a seedy arcade, where tourists come for the chance to shoot Honest Abe.
Booth is obsessed with a street con game, three-card monte.
Striving for a better life, bound by their love for each other, they are haunted by their own pasts-and our country’s history.
Topdog/Underdog contains adult language and content and is recommended for mature audiences.
The play runs September 8 to September 30. For more information please visit www.trtc.org
