Fat Ham @ RSC Swan Theatre Stratford-Upon-Avon

'Its amazing what fathers think they own of their sons just cause we share a name' Uninvited guests are one thing. Uninvited ghosts are quite another. Juicy is a queer, Southern college kid, already grappling with some serious questions of identity, when the ghost of his father shows up in their backyard, demanding that Juicy avenge his murder. The story is familiar, but whats different is Juicy himself, a sensitive and self-aware young Black man trying to break the cycles of trauma and violence in service of his own liberation. From an uproarious family barbecue emerges a compelling examination of love and loss, pain and joy. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Fat Ham is a delectable comic tragedy written by the award-winning playwright James Ijames, originally co-produced off-Broadway by The Public Theater and National Black Theatre. Original Direction by Saheem Ali, directed for the Swan Theatre by Sideeq Heard. For more information about themes and contents of this play, please see our content advisory page.
