Two brothers were named Lincoln and Booth by their father as a joke. Dressed for work as his presidential namesake, Lincoln sits in an arcade all day and is assassinated over and over. Booth sits in their run-down apartment practicing to be a great three-card Monte hustler, as his brother Lincoln was in his youth. This brilliant Pulitzer-Prize winning drama is a sharp look at the brothers' battle of sibling rivalry and their quest for respect and love.
