Fat Ham
by James Ijames
Directed by Charles Grant
A co-production with Portland Playhouse
April 19 - May 17
Opening Night April 24th and Closing Night May 17th
A week after Juicy’s father dies, he finds himself at a backyard barbecue celebrating the marriage of his mother and uncle—sound familiar? James Ijames’s Pulitzer Prize-winning reimagining of Shakespeare's Hamlet casts the sweet prince of Denmark as a queer, Black boy from the South. In this comedy born from tragedy, Juicy must choose between seeking vengeance for his father’s death or staying true to his own heart—a story of identity, family, and liberation as we become our truest selves.
“Fat Ham uses the silhouette of Shakespeare’s masterwork to birth something new, a vicious critique of masculinity and violence infused with a much-needed hilarity.” — The Guardian
“(Fat Ham) is both very funny and piercingly moving.” — The Daily Beast
