A bold and hilarious reimagining of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy
After a ghostly visit from his recently deceased father, Juicy must throw a cookout to celebrate his mother’s remarriage to his late father’s brother. Striking an eerie resemblance to that classic tale, Juicy must grapple with familial tensions, a quest for justice, and his own identity as he determines his next move. Fat Ham infuses Shakespeare’s Hamlet with laugh-out-loud humour, heart, and a soundtrack that will have everyone moving.
