The eagerly anticipated big-screen adaptation of Hamnet – as well as films starring Jennifer Lawrence, Daniel Day-Lewis, Julia Roberts and singer Charli XCX – are all on the line-up the BFI London Film Festival.
The film version of Maggie O’Farrell’s 2020 novel about William Shakespeare’s son Hamnet, who died at the age of 11 in 1596, and his parents’ subsequent grief, will have its European premiere at the festival.
