Fat Ham is an award-winning play by James Ijames. It offers a modern twist on Shakespeare’s Hamlet, centering on Juicy, a young queer black man, who is confronted by the ghost of his father during a barbecue, who demands that Juicy avenge his murder. Juicy, already familiar with Hamlet’s plight, tries to break the cycles of trauma and violence.
In this project, I redesigned costumes for four key characters: Tedra, Opal, Rabby, and Tio. The outcome includes a comprehensive collage reflecting the world of the play, realistic casting choices, mood boards for each character’s design concept, and detailed head-to-toe renderings showcasing costume choices.”
