Pulitzer-winning playwright James Ijames asks, “What does the Hamlet narrative look like if it’s queered, and if it’s infiltrated and taken over by people of color?” Fat Ham is his answer. Set in a backyard barbecue, this southern family drama is as bitingly hilarious as it is chilling. Ijames’s dazzling, inventive work explores what we inherit–from society and from kin–and what it costs to break the cycle. Fresh off of its Broadway run, Fat Ham is a theatrical feast of Shakespearean proportions.Directed by Mychael G. Chinn
