Juicy--a young, queer, Southern man, who is grappling with questions of identity--is visited by the ghost of his father (Pap) at his mother's wedding/family barbecue. Pap demands that Juicy avenge his recent murder. How will Juicy, a sensitive and self-aware young Black man, trying to break a cycle of trauma and toxic masculinity, avenge his father's premature death?

Editorial Reviews

"James Ijames's outstanding transformation of Shakespeare's tragedy into a play about Black masculinity and queerness, both echoes Hamlet and finds a language beyond it . . . the effect is stunning, making the play a living text, moving between Hamlet, the story happening on the stage, and the world beyond the fourth wall." --Maya Phillips, The New York Times

"A fresh and vital force." --Vinson Cunningham, New Yorker

"A broad, buoyant comedy . . . James Ijames's riff on Hamlet is an unalloyed comedy pleasure." --Charles Isherwood, Wall Street Journal

"Hamlet said it first: 'What a piece of work.'" --Helen Shaw, Vulture

"Unabashedly entertaining . . . We need plays like Fat Ham." --Peter Marks, Washington Post
