Hamnet

From Focus Features and Academy Award® winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao comes a sensitively observed, magnificently crafted tale about the complexities of love, loss and the healing power of art and creativity.

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.

Based on Maggie O’Farrell’s award-winning novel Hamnet and adapted for the screen by Chloé Zhao and O’Farrell.
