Description

Set in 16th-century Warwickshire, Maggie O'Farrell's novel explores the complex and passionate life of a family. A natural healer, Agnes Hathaway, meets William Shakespeare, a Latin tutor, and they create a life together, raising three children. As William's career in theatre takes him to London, Agnes remains at home, providing a constant presence and purpose in his life. Tragedy strikes when their 11-year-old son, Hamnet, falls ill and dies, leaving the family to confront their loss alone.

Based on the author's best-selling novel, this play pulls back the curtain on the imagined family life of one of England's most celebrated writers. It is a love letter to the power of nature, the magic of birth, and the pain of grief. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in April 2023.
