This uproariously funny, Pulitzer Prize-winning new play comes to City Theatre straight from Broadway! A modern revamp of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Fat Ham follows Juicy, a queer, pensive, young Black man finding his way in the world, when the ghost of his father demands Juicy avenges his murder. Set at the family cookout, this "hilarious yet profound tragedy smothered in comedy" (The New York Times) examines love, loss, and a particular set of daddy issues.
