This searing, wickedly funny drama about the relationship between
two African-American brothers named Lincoln and Booth appeared like
a rocket on America's theater scene, earning the Pulitzer Prize
in 2002. Booth worships his older brother's skills as a Three-Card
Monte street-hustler and tries to lure him back to the game that
nearly consumed him. Haunted by their impoverished past, the brothers
engage in a mortal battle of sibling rivalry while desperately trying
to win each others' respect and love. With this astounding drama,
Suzan-Lori Parks earns accolades as one of the most gifted and promising
of America's young playwrights. This play contains mature
subject matter. "...an utterly mesmerizing evening
of theater...the vitality, freshness and gritty lyricism of Parks'
writing are unlike anything to be heard on a Broadway Stage... -"
