Hamnet
November 15, 2023 @ 7:30 pm
£99.50
“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.
When the plague steals 11-year old Hamnet from his loving parents, they must confront their loss alone. And yet, out of the greatest suffering, something of extraordinary wonder is born.”
Selling out ahead of its world premiere at the newly restored Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon this April, Hamnet transfers directly to London’s Garrick Theatre for a limited run.
This new play, based on Maggie O’Farrell’s best-selling novel, adapted by award-winning playwright Lolita Chakrabarti (Life of Pi, Red Velvet, Hymn) pulls back the curtain on the story of the greatest writer in the English language and the woman who was the constant presence and purpose of his life.
