Hamnet (12A)

Bills kitchen is open for pre-show suppers on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 5:30pm. Click here to book.

Agnes, the wife of William Shakespeare, struggles to come to terms with the loss of their only son, Hamnet – the grief driving a wedge between the couple. Shakespeare, meanwhile, channels the tragedy and his sorrow into his work, creating Hamlet.

Chloé Zhao (Nomadland, The Rider) brings a rawness and honesty to this profound portrait of love, grief and the power of storytelling. This adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel features mesmerising performances by Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal. 

Hamnet was filmed in Herefordshire, with locations including Weobley, the River Wye, and Cwmmau Farmhouse. The production brought a 300-strong crew to the county, supporting local businesses and showcasing the beautiful landscapes on screen!
