Virginia Rep presents Fat Ham
February 27 @ 7:00 pm - March 23 @ 8:30 pm
Virginia Rep announces Fat Ham playing March 1 – March 23 on the Majorie Arenstein stage at the historic November Theatre.
“….the tragedy of Shakespeare is replaced by something witty, moving and life affirming…” (The Daily Beast), Fat Ham reimagines Shakespeare’s story of murder and revenge into what the New York Times calls “hot and sizzling…a revelation.” Juicy, a Black queer Southern kid, already has a lot on his plate when his father’s ghost appears, demanding vengeance for his murder—at the hand of Juicy’s uncle, who is marrying his mother. As generations clash during the family’s barbecue, Juicy must confront the legacy of violence in which he has been raised and decide the man he wants to be in James Ijames’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play fresh from its Tony-nominated Broadway run.
