On August 15, the first photos from the set emerged, showing Mescal and Buckley in period dress, kissing each other goodbye. Swoon.
Fans of Maggie O’Farrell’s Hamnet—the lyrical, atmospheric, and ultimately tragic tale of Shakespeare’s only son, Hamnet, who died at the age of just 11—have been well served of late: a critically acclaimed stage adaptation of the bestselling novel was recently on at London’s Garrick Theatre. But, there’s a big-screen iteration in the works, too, and it’s set to star none other than Oscar nominees Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley.
The latter gives a rich and moving account of the beginning of Shakespeare’s relationship with his wife, the enchanting Agnes, as well as their son Hamnet’s illness, sudden death, and the devastating impact it has on his parents. Mescal is set to play a dashing young Shakespeare, naturally, while Buckley will star as the free-spirited Agnes. Speaking to British Vogue about the project back in January, Mescal said: “That book—it’s just devastating. I can’t wait.
