Academy Award winner Chloé Zhao’s (Nomadland) HAMNET is a powerful love story led by Jessie Buckley (The Lost Daughter) and Paul Mescal (The History of Sound), detailing the creation of one of the most timeless masterpieces ever written; Hamlet.

In 1580s England, Latin tutor William Shakespeare (Mescal) meets the free-spirited Agnes (Buckley). Infatuated with one another, the pair marry and give birth to three children, who grow up acting in their father’s burgeoning plays. But as William begins to pursue a career in the theatre in London, tragedy strikes at home, shattering Agnes and William’s relationship, their family, and their life. Unable to mend themselves after such a tragedy, this shared experience soon finds a release as Agnes learns of William’s latest play; a timeless masterpiece known as The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.
