Film star Don Cheadle and Tony winner Jeffrey Wright will play brothers named Booth and Lincoln in Topdog/Underdog, due to premiere at the Public Theater's Anspacher Theater. Previews begin July 10 for an opening on July 26. George C. Wolfe will direct.

Topdog is described as a "darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family identity," a tale of two brothers, one named Lincoln, one named Booth. Their names "foretell a lifetime of sibling rivalry and resentment."

Parks' In the Blood (a Pulitzer finalist) played the Public in 1999 2000, and her Fucking A will play at the theatre in winter 2002. She is currently working on Hoopz, Disney's in-development Harlem Globetrotter musical.

The event is free. For more information, call (212) 539-8685.
