Fat Ham

A Canadian Stage Production

 
A bold and hilarious reimagining of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy

After a ghostly visit from his recently deceased father, Juicy must throw a cookout to celebrate his mother’s remarriage to his late father’s brother. Striking an eerie resemblance to that classic tale, Juicy must grapple with  familial tensions, a quest for justice, and his own identity as he determines his next move. Fat Ham infuses Shakespeare’s Hamlet with laugh-out-loud humour, heart, and a soundtrack that will have everyone moving.

We've partnered with Jamii to allow ticketholders to access free childcare during select matinees.

Select performances are designated for school matinees. For more information and to book, please contact Manuel Chaves at mchaves@canadianstage.com.
