Winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this deliciously funny send-up of Shakespeare’s Hamlet is set to take 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
CRITICS PICK. “A hilarious yet profound tragedy smothered in comedy. Perhaps the real tragedy of Hamlet is that it doesn’t end with a dance party.” — The New York Times
“★★★★★. A boisterous Southern backyard barbecue that is funny and fabulous, terrifying and touching. Fat Ham keeps you cackling!” — Time Out NY
“Unabashedly entertaining and groove-in-your-seat exuberant. To revive us, we need plays like the Pulitzer-winning Fat Ham.” — The Washington Post
