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.

Fat Ham

Berkeley Street Theatre

Suzanne, an acclaimed Black author, returns to her alma mater, Ohio State University, to give a speech on the violent nature of her writing. Confronted with the dark memories of her past, she unravels the painful truth of what happened in 1949, during her time as a student. This haunting and provocative play, penned by legendary playwright Adrienne Kennedy, is a poignant exploration of race, identity and grief.
