Hamnet, adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s best-selling novel by Lolita Chakrabarti, delves into the profound impact of loss within the Shakespeare family. Directed by Erica Whyman, this U.S. premiere by the Royal Shakespeare Company explores the relationship between William and Agnes as they navigate the tragic death of their son Hamnet during the plague. The poignant narrative captures themes of love, grief, and the power of artistic expression that emerges from profound sorrow.
