Topdog/Underdog
Ion Theatre's fierce, quirky, funny, first-rate production benefits from having Delicia Turner Sonnenberg guest-direct and casting Mark Christopher Lawrence and Laurence Brown (in a breakout role) as Lincoln and Booth, African-American brothers whose attempts to one-up, "topdog" each other escalate. Lawrence and Brown excel with the play's rhythms and elemental, "king of the mountain" drives. The brothers spiral and lie so much, the truth hops about like the winning card in 3-card Monte. Lincoln and Booth con us as well. From Ion's intimate house seats, you'd swear they were spiraling upward [note: due to popular demand, Ion Theatre has extended the run of this show].
