PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The play is called Fat Ham and it's the story of 'Hamlet' only set in the American South with a Black family, a queer-focused narrative and a main character named Juicy.
It's the work of South Philly-based playwright James Ijames.
It was originally a digital production, shot on location in Virginia during the pandemic.
Ijames won the Pulitzer Prize for drama for the work in 2022. Fat Ham opens on Broadway in late March.
