One character in this play takes a lover known as her Thursday Man, since he visits her every Thursday. Another character rejects the name "Shango," despite the argument that "no ones gonna hire you if they cant say yr name," and says he prefers masturbation because he can't afford a sexual relationship. He does attempt to woo Grace, who attends cosmetology school, but he later kills her and sleeps with Cookie, the estranged wife of the other character. Sharing elements with its author's previous work The America Play, one character practices his three-card monte act and gains an edge when he changes his winning card to the deuce of spades, while the other is repeatedly assassinated with a cap gun. FTP, name this play by Suzan-Lori Parks which won the Pulitzer in 2002, in which the black brothers Lincoln and Booth are the title characters.
