“As the characters' modern dialogue melds with Shakespeare's famed words, Jade King Carroll’s crystal-clear direction and smooth pacing keep viewers fully immersed in this Fourth Wall-breaking world, where anything can happen. And, while it wouldn't be fair to spoil the ending, suffice it to say that viewers will hang on every word and every action until the end.”
—Triangle Review
“Under Jade King Carroll’s peppy direction, PlayMakers’s production of Fat Ham proves why the Pulitzer Prize-winning play is so popular.: it has sharp, witty dialogue delivered by relatable characters… Ijames surprises us by embedding this story within another, and as it gradually emerges over the course of 100 minutes, the ground cracks and shifts for both the characters and the audience -- the preceding tremors barely noticeable.”
