Hamnet
HAMNET, based on Maggie O’Farrell’s novel, takes the faintest hints of history and expands them into a poignant exploration of love, grief and the creation of timeless art.
Academy Award–winning director Chloe Zhao (NOMADLAND) helms this lush and tender drama about William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and his family, as seen through the eyes of his thoughtful wife Agnes (a luminous, enthralling Jessie Buckley). In 1580 England, impoverished Latin tutor William Shakespeare meets the free-spirited Agnes. The pair, captivated by one another, strike up a torrid affair that leads to marriage and three children, yet as William pursues a budding theater career in faraway London, Agnes anchors the domestic sphere alone. When tragedy strikes, the couple’s once-unshakable bond is tested – but their shared experience sets the stage for the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet. Based on the novel by Maggie O’Farrell, this beautifully crafted account presents Shakespeare not as a distant, untouchable genius but as a real man whose literary prowess was irrevocably impacted by his family.DramaPT2H5MPG-132025-12-05Jessie Buckley
