One of the year’s most anticipated literary adaptations arrives in South Florida as Focus Features teams with FlickDirect to offer a limited number of complimentary passes for an advance screening of HAMNET. Directed and co-written by Academy Award® winner Chloé Zhao and based on the celebrated novel by Maggie O’Farrell, the film explores the emotional and imaginative story behind the life of William Shakespeare, his wife Agnes, and the loss of their son Hamnet.

Starring Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Emily Watson, and Joe Alwyn, HAMNET brings to life the intimate human drama that shaped the origins of Hamlet. Through Zhao’s signature visual style and emotional depth, the film examines how a family’s private sorrow would echo through one of history’s greatest works.
