Preview: Hamnet and discussion with Reclaim the Frame at GFT

Wednesday 7 January, 2026, 5.40 p.m.

Start the new year with Hamnet and Reclaim the Frame at a special preview of Chloé Zhao’s restorative portrait of love, loss and healing, followed by a panel conversation on the film featuring Lauren Clarke, Curator at Invisible Women and more to be announced.

Please note: There will be no ads or trailers before this screening. The film will start promptly.

Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel features mesmerising performances by Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal.

Agnes, the wife of William Shakespeare, struggles to come to terms with the loss of their only son, Hamnet – the grief driving a wedge between the couple. Shakespeare channels the tragedy and his sorrow into his work, creating Hamlet. Zhao (Nomadland, The Rider) brings a rawness and honesty to this profound portrait of love, grief and the power of storytelling.

The introduction and discussion will have live captioning.
