Reviews
"James Ijames's outstanding transformation of Shakespeare's tragedy into a play about Black masculinity and queerness, both echoes Hamlet and finds a language beyond it . . . the effect is stunning, making the play a living text, moving between Hamlet, the story happening on the stage, and the world beyond the fourth wall." --Maya Phillips, The New York Times "A fresh and vital force." --Vinson Cunningham, New Yorker "A broad, buoyant comedy . . . James Ijames's riff on Hamlet is an unalloyed comedy pleasure." --Charles Isherwood, Wall Street Journal "Hamlet said it first: 'What a piece of work.'" --Helen Shaw, Vulture "Unabashedly entertaining . . . We need plays like Fat Ham." --Peter Marks, Washington Post, "Afunny, poignant play that deftly transposes Hamlet to a familybarbecue in the American South to grapple with questions of identity,kinship, responsibility, and honesty." --Pulitzer Prize Committee "James Ijames's outstanding transformation of Shakespeare's tragedy intoa play about Black masculinity and queerness, both echoes Hamlet andfinds a language beyond it...the effect is stunning, making the play aliving text, moving between Hamlet , the story happening on the stageand the world beyond the fourth wall." -- The New York Times " Fat Ham is brilliantly alive, a true tragicomedy (or a very, very funny tragedy) and an exuberantly metatheatrical dialogue with Shakespeare, America, and toxic masculinity, all at once." -- Exeunt "A fresh and vital force." -- New Yorker "Momentous and remarkable...a masterpiece." -- Theatermania
