Fat Ham, by James Ijames

A funny, poignant play that deftly transposes "Hamlet" to a family barbecue in the American South to grapple with questions of identity, kinship, responsibility, and honesty.

Yeah, IT has been hugely acclaimed by the white awards. As a variation on hamlet, a play varied infinite times already, I have no problem. Like all art it has a cultural element. I wonder how it is received in various tribes in the village. but happy for its success.

@Troy I saw excerpts on pbs, how much is the visual record? I will not pay for the theater, though that is the best place to see it
