Fat Ham Paperback – August 1, 2023

No wonder this is a prize winning play. This book was chosen by my book club, otherwise I would never have bought it. I am so glad I did. It definitely helps if you have previously read or seen 'Hamlet'. There are so many clever (and funny) references to the original. But the topicality and challenging insights makes reading this a thought-provoking experience. Just superb.

Arrived on time and in great condition. Pages have clearly never been touched and book hadn't been opened. I wasn't able to find this in book stores, and found it online to get a gift quickly for a friend.

Nice book to read and laugh. Enjoy the characters in the play, read page 104.

Its a script solidly put together. Pretty on the shelf.

Pulitzer Prize winner for best drama and deservedly so, The premise is very unique. A gay young man (Juicy) is visited by the ghost of his dad who recently died. Dad's ghost tells him to kill has uncle who is going to marry his mom way to soon after pop's death. The play takes place at a celebration of the new couple's wedding which seems to early and in bad taste. You meet many of the well drawn family members as we wonder what Juicy will do.

The whole play was a pleasure!

Ok Yeah!What do you do if God doesn't want you and the Devil don't want you?That is the question.This is a really good rendition. The drama was amazing. The fact the son is talking to the father's ghost speaks deeply to the need for black men to raise their children. Then there is the complication of LBTQ awareness and the need for more awareness and more love. Its a lot going on in this hour and 20 minutes.

This was a great write-up of the Pulitzer Prize winner for best drama. As a fan of Shakespeare I loved this retelling of Hamlet. Though this is a retelling, it is completely unique and different. I found the story to be compelling, the characters to very well developed and by the end I wanted to see this in person and you will too!
