Past event

Maggie O’Farrell’s award-winning Hamnet gives us new and illuminating insight into Shakespeare and his masterpiece, and the family that nurtured him. Told from the perspective of Shakespeare’s wife, this devastatingly beautiful novel takes as its starting point the true fact of the death of their 11 year old son, Hamnet (a variant on the more familiar Hamlet), and from there weaves a deeply moving story of family, love and, most profoundly, of grief, and the paths we must navigate through them.
In this online event streamed live from Adelaide Writers’ Week, O’Farrell will be in conversation with Anton Enus.
This event is broadcast from 10.00am AEDT Sunday 28 February, and available on demand until Tuesday 2 March.
Instructions on how to view the event will be sent to ticket holders and FAQ’s are available here. Need help accessing the stream? Please email enquiries@tikstream.com for support.
Presented in partnership with Adelaide Writers’ Week.
