“Fat Ham”

Winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, “Fat Ham” is a deliciously funny send-up of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” that took Broadway by storm in 2023 following a sold-out run at The Public Theater. When the ghost of Juicy’s father demands that Juicy avenge his murder, fatal intent doesn’t come easy to this sensitive, self-aware, young Black man in search of his own happiness and liberation. From an uproarious Southern family cookout emerges a compelling examination of love and loss, pain and joy, revenge and karaoke.

In co-production with City Theatre, Pittsburgh, PA
