San Francisco Shakespeare Festival collaborates with Focus Features to present a cinematic exploration of love and loss in HAMNET, directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao. Set in 1580s England, the story follows the relationship between William Shakespeare and free-spirited Agnes as they navigate the challenges of family and ambition, ultimately inspiring the creation of Hamlet. The film stars Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Emily Watson, and Joe Alwyn. Adapted from Maggie O’Farrell's acclaimed novel, it delves into the transformative power of art in the face of tragedy.
