โA hilarious yet profound tragedy smothered in comedy.โโNew York Times
In this Pulitzer Prizeโwinning take onย Hamletย written byย James Ijamesย and directed byย Saheem Ali, Juicy is a young, queer Black man with a Shakespearean-sized dilemma. When the ghost of his dead father shows up at his familyโs BBQ wedding reception demanding his murder be avenged, does the poetic and sensitive Juicy have it in him to do the deed, or will he โto thine own self be trueโ?
Fat Hamย premiered in 2022 at the Public Theater as a co-production between the National Black Theatre and the Public Theater, made its Broadway premiere in 2023, and comes direct from Broadway to Los Angeles.
Theย Geffen Playhouseย has been a hub of the Los Angeles theater scene since opening its doors in 1995. Noted for its intimacy and celebrated for its renowned mix of classic and contemporary plays as well as provocative world premiere productions, the not-for-profit organization continues to present a body of work that garners national recognition.
