'She's like no one I've ever met... She's like fire and water all at
once.' Warwickshire, 1582. Agnes Hathaway, a natural healer, meets the
Latin tutor, William Shakespeare. Drawn together by powerful but
hidden impulses, they create a life together and make a family. As
William moves to London to discover his place in the world of theatre,
Agnes stays at home to raise their three children but she is the
constant presence and purpose of his life. When the plague steals
11-year-old Hamnet from his loving parents, they must each confront
their loss alone. And yet, out of the greatest suffering, something of
extraordinary wonder is born. This new play based on Maggie
O'Farrell's best-selling novel and adapted by award-winning playwright
Lolita Chakrabarti (Life of Pi, Red Velvet, Hymn), pulls back a
curtain on the imagined family life of the greatest writer in the
English language. Hamnet is a love letter to passion, birth, grief and
the magic of nature. This updated and revised edition was published to
coincide with the West End transfer of the original RSC production in
October 2023.
