Oscar-winning Chloé Zhao (Nomadland) directs Maggie O’Farrell’s acclaimed novel, Hamnet. A raw, wildly sensitive and magnificently crafted story of deep love and grief and the restorative power of art that features phenomenal performances by Jessie Buckley (The Lost Daughter) and Paul Mescal (Aftersun).
1580 England. Impoverished Latin tutor William (Mescal) meets free spirit Agnes (Buckley), and they begin a passionate affair that leads to marriage and three children. As Will’s theatre career takes off in London, Agnes anchors the family’s domestic world alone. When tragedy strikes, the couple’s bond faces a bitter test, but the crucible of their shared suffering sets the stage for the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet – the most famous of his tragedies, and one which bears a name interchangeable with that of his son.
