Hamnet: Lead Cast, Plot & Storyline
Based on Maggie O’Farrell’s 2020 novel of the same name and set in late 16th-century England, the fictional historical drama reimagines the personal life of the legendary playwright William Shakespeare (played by Paul Mescal) and his wife Agnes (played by Jessie Buckley). Their lives are torn apart when their 11-year-old son, Hamnet (played by Jacobi Jupe), suddenly falls ill and dies, leaving the family consumed by grief. The film explores themes of love and loss while reflecting on how this tragedy may have influenced Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet.
