reviewed Topdog/Underdog on
A very interesting minimalist play. In a short amount of time the audience easily grasps the characters of Lincoln and Booth. Comic interactions reveal much about the characters, and as the interactions become much more serious, the relationship becomes unpredictable. A good read, though somewhat vulgar at times, it is poignant and eye-opening.
