The relationship minefield
between siblings, as well as
African-Americans and white
society, are central to the
prizewinning
“Topdog/Underdog,” first in
Albion College’s 2018-19
theatre season. he play runs
September 21–22 and 26–29 at
8 p.m. each night, with an
additional 2 p.m. matinee on
September 22 and on Sunday,
September 23.
“Topdog/Underdog” is a
darkly comic fable of
brotherly love, family
identity, and the black
experience in America.
Lincoln and Booth are two
brothers whose names were
given to them as a joke,
foretelling a lifetime of
sibling rivalry and
resentment. The play opened
off-Broadway in 2001 and won
both a Pulitzer Prize and
the Outer Critics Circle
Award before embarking on a
successful Broadway run.
“Topdog/Underdog” contains
strong language and may not
