Hamnet

Anne Hathaway gave birth to twins, Judith and Hamnet, in 1585, and raised them while her husband William Shakespeare was making his way as a playwright in London. Hamnet died at eleven. Oscar-winning director Chloe Zhao’s film adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s best-selling novel captures with transfixing sensitivity the grief of parents emerging from trauma and the enduring love that inspired Shakespeare’s greatest play. Award-winning Irish tours de force Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal star.
