Fat Ham is a regional premiere by James Ijames that reimagines Hamlet through the lens of a young Southern queer college student named Juicy. Set against the backdrop of a family wedding barbecue, Juicy grapples with grief, identity, and the ghost of his father demanding vengeance for his murder. Blending comedy, drama, and social commentary, this production explores themes of family, identity, and togetherness. The show runs from January 29 to February 16, 2025, at Virginia Stage Company.
