Hamlet, but with more barbecue and less barbary. Fat Ham reimagines Shakespeare’s story of murder and revenge into what The New York Times calls “a hilarious yet profound tragedy smothered in comedy.” Juicy, a Black queer Southern kid, already has a lot on his plate when his father’s ghost appears, demanding vengeance. As generations clash during the family’s backyard barbecue, Juicy must confront the legacy of violence in which he has been raised and decide the man he wants to be in James Ijames’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play fresh from its Tony-nominated Broadway run.
