Winner of the prized Audience Award at Toronto (which frequently points to Oscar glory), and starring Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley in career best performances, HAMNET is a deeply moving and powerful story of the love and loss that might have inspired the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet.

Based on Maggie O’Farrell’s best-selling novel of the same name, HAMNET reimagines the peculiar relationship of William (Mescal) and Agnes (Buckley) Shakespeare, and wonders what role tragic loss may have had in the creation of one of the greatest works in English literature. Academy Award® winner Chloé Zhao (NOMADLAND) directs a mesmerising and heartwarming story. Emily Watson and Joe Alwyn feature in supporting roles.
