Fat Ham
GableStage Theatre Company
1200 Anastasia Ave #230, Coral Gables
305-445-1119
https://www.gablestage.org/
Along with Gable Stage and Brévo Theatre, Island City Stage presents a fascinating and funny adaptation of Hamlet as a gay black man in the South must deal with his family over BBQ ribs and slaw.
Bill Hirschman of Florida Theater on Stage says “Fat Ham is basically a huge grin. The fact that the ingenious plot in this intentionally glances off touchpoints echoing Shakespeare’s Hamlet does not and doesn’t intend to cover up that this is simply a fun farce. And as this co-production moved to GableStage this weekend, the four weekends of prior performances, and two subsequent weeks of fine-tuning rehearsal have generated a significantly amped up edition vibrating with dynamic energy.”

Island City Stage
2304 N. Dixie Hwy. Wilton Manors
954-928-9800
http://www.islandcitystage.org
A grieving screenwriter finds himself in an unconditional triangle with a film producer and his bored wife. It promises a “shocking finale.” Written by playwright Craig Lucas.
Britin Haller with Florida Theater on Stage says “The roots of The Dying Gaul may be in Roman history, but this is a Greek tragedy through and through, so don’t expect a neat tidy ending because what happens in the final moments will have lifelong repercussions for the ones who remain. For anyone looking for an edgy story you’ll be thinking about days later, this is it.”
