Details

Hamnet is a 2025 historical drama film directed by Chloé Zhao, based on the 2020 novel by Maggie O'Farrell. Zhao and O'Farrell co-wrote the film's screenplay. The film's largely fictional story dramatises the marriage between Agnes Hathaway and William Shakespeare, and the impact of the tragic death of their 11-year-old son Hamnet on their relationship, which inspired Shakespeare's play Hamlet. It stars Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal as Agnes and William, alongside Emily Watson and Joe Alwyn in supporting roles.

I have bought seat J13 and the film is showing in screen 6. It starts at 6.30pm, but with adverts and trailers, the film will actually start at 6.55pm. I will be in the foyer on the ground floor from 6.25pm in front of the lift, and will wait until 6.40pm, when I will head up to the screen. This will allow time for snacks. If anyone wants to head straight into the screen, they can.

I think that covers everything but if I've forgotten anything or there are any questions, let me know. Looking forward to this!
