by Benoit Teves - April 21, 2026

Review: FAT HAM at Orlando Shakes


by Benoit Teves - 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 ense...
