A tale of power, betrayal, and the search for justice.

Cue the drama, the intrigue, and the quest for truth. J-Boy's not alone in this whirlwind of emotions.

Then there's O, our Ophelia, who's not your typical damsel in distress—she's a force to be reckoned with. With dynamic characters, thought-provoking themes, and gripping storytelling, "Fat Ham" is more than just a retelling—it's a whole new experience that'll leave you seeing "Hamlet" in a new light.
