Cert 12A

Film Synopsis | Fledgling playwright William Shakespeare plies his trade in 16th-century London, while his wife Agnes remains in Stratford to look after their children, keeping a particularly watchful eye on sickly Judith. However, it is her twin brother Hamnet who is unexpectedly taken by the plague, leaving the parents unspeakably bereft. As Agnes and William Shakespeare grapple with grief, Agnes, a healer, searches for strength to care for her surviving children, while William channels his pain and guilt into what would become one of his greatest masterpieces, Hamlet.

This beautiful, moving adaptation of Northern Irish novelist Maggie O‘Farrell’s Hamnet (2020) is directed by Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao (Nomadland, 2020), and stars Killarney-native Jessie Buckley as Agnes and Paul Mescal as a William Shakespeare.

Cert 12A | Films classified 12A have been deemed appropriate for viewers of 12 and over. However, they can also be seen by younger children, provided they are accompanied by an adult who has deemed the film appropriate viewing for that child.
