Content Advisory: A comedic take on Hamlet, this 2022 Pulitzer Prize–winning play about family drama at a backyard bbq and wedding reception contains frank (and often hilarious) discussions of sex, violence, murder, and adult situations (much like Shakespeare). Due to the mature content in the play, it may be best suited to high school ages and up. Parental discretion is advised.
