Say cheerio to the 2025 Russell Hobbs British Film Festival with a whisky cocktail from The Glendronach or mocktail on arrival prior to the Australian Premiere screenings of Academy Award winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao's (Nomadland, The Rider) critically acclaimed period drama, HAMNET, starring Academy Award nominees Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal. 1580 England. Impoverished Latin tutor William Shakespeare meets free-spirited Agnes, and the pair, captivated by one another, strike up a torrid affair that leads to marriage and three children. Yet as Will pursues a budding theatre career in far-away 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.
A luminous adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s internationally celebrated novel, HAMNET reframes the story of William Shakespeare through the eyes of his wife, Agnes, portrayed with breathtaking depth by Jessie Buckley, alongside Paul Mescal’s compelling Shakespeare.
