Academy Award winning writer/director Chloe Zhao brings Maggie O’Farrell’s 2020 novel to the screen as a stunning, plaintive exploration of grief and love through the story of Agnes, wife of William Shakespeare, and the loss of their young son to the bubonic plague. A tender, affecting tale, underscored by masterful performances from Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley and a transporting original score by contemporary composer Max Richter.
