Review: TOPDOG/UNDERDOG at The Gamm Theatre
by Erica Cataldi-Roberts - September 13, 2023
What did our critic think of TOPDOG/UNDERDOG at The Gamm Theatre? The Gamm theatre launches its 2023-24 season with Suzan-Lori Parks’ multi-award winning play, TOPDOG/UNDERDOG. On its surface, it’s the story of two Black brothers, Lincoln and Booth, who share a troubled past and are now sharing a room in a squalid boardinghouse while trying to figure out a path forward. Underneath, however, is a text that is rich with multiple layers of interpretation and commentary on the American Dream, capitalism, Black masculinity, and so much more.
