Description

Agnes Hathaway and William Shakespeare's life together is one of powerful but hidden impulses. In 1582, they create a family in Warwickshire, with Agnes as a natural healer and William as the Latin tutor. As William moves to London to discover his place in the world of theatre, Agnes stays at home to raise their three children. The plague takes their 11-year-old son Hamnet from them, leaving both parents to confront their loss alone. Despite this tragedy, something extraordinary is born out of their suffering. A new play, adapted by Lolita Chakrabarti, brings to life the imagined family life of one of England's greatest writers. This updated edition was published in 2023 to coincide with the West End transfer of the original RSC production.
