Hamnet

When the plague steals 11-year-old Hamnet from his loving parents, Agnes Hathaway and William Shakespeare, they must each confront their loss alone.

And yet, out of the greatest suffering, something of extraordinary wonder is born. Experience ‘pure theatre gold’ (Mail on Sunday) with this hotly anticipated world premiere from the Royal Shakespeare Company based on Maggie O’Farrell’s best-selling novel, adapted by award-winning playwright Lolita Chakrabarti and directed by RSC Acting Artistic Director Erica Whyman.

‘Evocative and beautifully acted’ (The Times) HAMNET transfers direct from Stratford-upon-Avon to London’s Garrick Theatre for 14 weeks only from 30 September 2023.
