Review: FAT HAM at Orlando Shakes
March 10, 2026 Orlando Shakes’ production of FAT HAM is a sensory-rich, unapologetically Black, and proudly queer reimagining of Hamlet that trades Shakespearean tragedy for hard-won joy. Set against a stunningly detailed backyard cookout, Je’Shaun Jackson’s stylized performance as Juicy anchors a vivid ensemble that navigates familial duty and identity with breakneck pace and ear-watering humor. Ultimately, this breath of fresh ai' production asks the vital modern question: to be what others expect, or to be unapologetically yourself?
