“ An utterly mesmerizing evening of theater ” – Var iety
Lincoln and Booth. They are rivals. They are brothers. Lincoln, the elder, is trying to make a go at honest work after years of hustling three-card monte; and Booth, the younger, is a wannabe looking to learn the tricks of his brother’s illegitimate trade. Trapped by their poverty, family history and ominously prophetic given names, these two black men find themselves locked in a dangerous game of deception, sparring over just which one’s the Player and which one’s the Played.
Winner of the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Drama – This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the benchmark win, the first and only for an African-American woman.
