The highly acclaimed film Hamnet is coming to the Gunn Memorial Library, with two separate screening dates available. Join us for a memorable viewing of this beautifully told and deeply moving story.
Based on the New York Times best-selling novel, Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao (Nomadland) directs a powerful story of love and loss. William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) falls for the free-spirited Agnes (Jessie Buckley). Their whirlwind romance leads to marriage and three children, but as Will’s theatrical ambitions draw him to London, Agnes remains behind to manage the household. When tragedy strikes, their bond is deeply tested—but through grief and resilience, their journey inspires the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet. The film also stars Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn and is produced by renowned filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Sam Mendes.
