Comedy, Pulitzer Prize Winner
“Hot and sizzling… A raucous, flat-out hilarious comedy… Fat Ham is a revelation.” – The New York Times
In this sizzling cookout comedy, the grill isn’t the only thing turning up the heat. This Southern-fried take on Hamlet follows Juicy, a Southern college kid, grappling with some serious questions of identity. When the ghost of his dead father appears at a family BBQ demanding revenge for his murder, Juicy must grapple with the decision to heed his phantom father’s advice or remain true to himself. An uproarious family barbecue emerges into a compelling examination of laughter, love and loss, pain and joy.
