After a sell-out run at the RSC in Stratford-upon-Avon, Lolita Chakrabarti’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s bestseller Hamnet, directed by Erica Whyman, is transferring to the West End. Much of the cast are reprising their roles for the run at the Garrick Theatre, including Ajani Cabey (playing Hamnet), Madeleine Mantock (playing Agnes Hathaway), and Tom Varey (playing William Shakespeare). The novel and the play tells the story of William Shakespeare and Agnes Hathaway’s relationship and how they navigate the loss of their son Hamnet, who dies from the plague at only eleven years old.
