In this deliciously funny, Pulitzer Prize-winning new play,‘FAT HAM,’ writer James Ijames and director Saheem Ali have taken Hamlet and transformed it into an uproarious family cookout where “comedy, karaoke and disco are only part of the menu,” says The New York Times. FAT HAM is playing at the American Airlines Theatre.
Juicy is a queer, Southern college kid, already grappling with some serious questions of identity, when the ghost of his father shows up in their backyard, demanding that Juicy avenge his murder. But here’s the rub! Revenge doesn’t come easy to Juicy, a sensitive and self-aware young Black man in search of his own happiness and liberation.
Listed by The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wrap as “The Best Theater of 2022,” FAT HAM shines as a compelling examination of love and loss, pain and joy.
