From Academy Award winning writer/director Chloé Zhao, HAMNET tells the powerful story of love and loss that inspired the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet.
1580 England. Impoverished Latin tutor William Shakespeare meets free-spirited Agnes, and the pair, captivated by one another, strike up a torrid affair that leads to marriage and three children. Yet as Will pursues a budding theatre career in far-away 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 Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet. From Focus Features and Academy Award winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao (Nomadland, The Rider) comes a sensitively observed, magnificently crafted tale about the complexities of love and the healing power of art and creativity.
Please arrive promptly - we show 10 minutes of trailers before each film and do not show adverts.
The screening on Sat 14 March at 14:00 will be screened as part of our epic Oscars weekend (13th-15th March) where we'll be showing all ten best picture nominees! As a lot of these films have been out for a little while tickets are only £10 but we've added a 'supporter' price of £15 too. If you're able to pay the larger amount that'd really help us to cover the costs of doing more of these one-off looking back projects.
