Oscar- tipped Hamnet is a romantic historical drama focusing on the fictionalized life of William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and his wife, Agnes (Award winner Jessie Buckley). Based on Maggie O’Farrell’s novel, the film explores their courtship in Warwickshire and the devastating, visceral grief they endure following the death of their 11-year-old son, Hamnet, from the plague in 1596. A healer, Agnes must find strength to care for her surviving children.
Agnes Shakespeare is struck with intense grief. As she mourns with her husband William, the pair struggle to come to terms with the frailty of life and the ruthlessness of the plague.
