Biddulph Scratch Community cinema presents a FREE showing of Hamnet on the first Friday of June. The door opens at 6.30pm with a bar available. Film showing at 7pm. Hamnet (12A) is a historical fiction novel published in 2020 by the Irish-British author Maggie O’Farrell. It fictionalizes the life of William Shakespeare’s family at the time of his son Hamnet’s death in 1596 and the writing of the play Hamlet around 1600. Hamnet won the 2020 Women’s Prize for Fiction, a prestigious literary award in the United Kingdom, and the film won 8 Oscars. Winning Best Performance by an Actress, Jesse Buckley.
Hamnet is ultimately a meditation on love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit. By fictionalizing the experiences of Shakespeare’s family, director Chloe Zhao gives O’Farrell a voice to a child often neglected in historical records, exploring grief’s profound influence on life and art.
