Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel features mesmerising performances by Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal.
1580 England. Impoverished Latin tutor William Shakespeare meets free-spirited Agnes, and the couple, captivated by one another, begin an affair that leads to marriage and three children. Yet as Will pursues a theatre career in London, Agnes anchors the domestic sphere alone. When tragedy strikes, the couple’s once-unshakable bond is tested, but their shared experience sets the stage for the creation of Hamlet.
