Fat Ham

James Ijames’ Pulitzer Prize-winning reinvention of Hamlet brings Shakespeare’s classic into the modern South with humor, heart, and barbecue. Juicy, a young black man, grapples with his father’s ghost, family expectations, and the cycle of violence that haunts them all. Will he seek revenge or carve out a new path? Fat Ham is a fresh, funny, and deeply moving look at identity, duty, and breaking free.

This production may be best for middle & high school students.
