From Academy Award® winning writer/director Chloé Zhao, HAMNET tells the powerful love story that inspired the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet.
Based on Maggie O’Farrell’s best-selling novel, this multi-award-winning period drama and box office hit brings together Irish powerhouses Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley as man and wife, William Shakespeare and the mysterious Anne Hathaway.
1580, England. Impoverished Latin tutor William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) meets free-spirited Agnes (Jessie Buckley), and the pair, captivated by one another, strike up an affair that leads to marriage and three children.
Yet as Will pursues a budding theatre career in far-away London, Agnes anchors their domestic world alone. When tragedy strikes, the couple’s once-unshakable bond is tested – but their shared experience sets the stage for a work that will never be forgotten.
