by: James Ljames
Juicy-a young, queer, Southern man, who is grappling with questions of identity-is visited by the ghost of his father (Pap) at his mother's wedding/family barbecue. Pap demands that Juicy avenge his recent murder. How will Juicy, a sensitive and self-aware young Black man, trying to break a cycle of trauma and toxic masculinity, avenge his father's premature death? Fat Hamreinvents Shakespeare's masterpiece in startling and hilarious ways amidst the backdrop of a family barbeque in the American South.
