A funny, moving delight. It transposes the basics of Hamlet onto a gay man living in rural Tennessee, but it doesn't belabor the transposition. The writing is original, the dialogue sharp and witty, the characters fully drawn. The ending was a little too tied up in a nice bow for me, but then again who couldn't use a happy ending these days?

Gabriel, Luella, and Chris and a break in.

Pulitzer Prize winner for best drama and deservedly so. The premise is very unique. A gay Black man (Juicy) is visited by the ghost of his dad who recently dies. His dad tells him to kill his uncle who who is going to marry his mom way too soon after his pop's death. The play takes place at a celebration for the new couple which seems way to early and in very bad taste. You meet many well drawn and unique family members as we wonder what Juicy is going to do,
