Content Advice
A kinky eco-hijacking of Shakespeare’s Hamlet about meat, madness, and the power of shame.

A grief-stricken vegan seeks revenge for the death of a pig.

First, he thinks for a long time. Second, he blames his mother. Finally, he wreaks the ultimate vengeance… by putting on a play.

‘The find of the festival’
★★★★★ Telegraph

The “Fringe sensation” (Stage) Hotter Project twists this high-brow tragedy into a sordid wrestle between a vegan and a sausage-lover. As we hurtle towards the end of humankind, every one of us must decide: to eat, or not to eat? Is that the question?

HAM is for audiences 18+. Please see content advice for more information.
