Join the Feast: Fat Ham - A Hilarious Twist on Shakespeare

Get ready to feast on the deliciously comedic world of Fat Ham! Meet Juicy, a young queer Black man who has a lot on his plate. His mother just married his uncle after the untimely death of his father, whose ghost appears at a family barbecue demanding that Juicy avenge his murder. Sound familiar? Fresh from its Broadway debut, this Pulitzer Prize-winning and Tony-nominated play inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a sparkling and uproarious new comedy about seeking love and liberation. Experience this joyful production, built by Seattle Rep’s shops and directed by beloved local theater icon Timothy McCuen Piggee (2016’s Raisin in the Sun and 2019’s As You Like It), showing until May 12th at Bagley Wright Theater.
