THE TOPDOG DIARIES

An intimate portrait of Suzan-Lori Parks, featuring actors Don Cheadle and Jeffrey Wright and director George C. Wolfe. The film shows the playwright’s process in behind-the-scenes footage of Topdog/Underdog in rehearsal and performance Off-Broadway at The Public Theatre in NYC. It follows the play’s triumphant transfer to Broadway as it traces Parks’ opportunities, challenges, and personal milestones during the production of her 2002 Pulitzer Prizewinner.
