‘Pure Theatre Gold’ (Mail on Sunday)
Experience the Royal Shakespeare Company’s hotly anticipated stage adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s best-selling novel HAMNET, adapted by award-winning playwright Lolita Chakrabarti and directed by Erica Whyman.
When the plague steals 11-year-old Hamnet from his loving parents, Agnes and William, they must each confront their loss alone. And yet, out of the greatest suffering, something of extraordinary wonder is born.
