New Hamnet film explores Shakespeare's grief over son's tragic death
A new film titled Hamnet brings to life the grief of William Shakespeare after losing his 11-year-old son. The adaptation draws from Maggie O'Farrell's acclaimed 2020 novel of the same name. Meanwhile, NPR's Fresh Air Weekend has featured discussions on books, films, and nutrition in its latest episodes. The film Hamnet delves into a deeply personal chapter of Shakespeare's life. It follows the playwright's struggle after his young son's death, offering a fictionalised take on historical tragedy. The screenplay stays true to O'Farrell's novel, which won the Women's Prize for Fiction in 2020.
NPR's *Fresh Air Weekend* showcased a mix of past interviews and fresh content. The programme included a conversation with science writer Mary Roach about her new book, *Replaceable You*.

The weekend edition also featured nutritionist Marion Nestle discussing her latest book, *What to Eat Now*. She advocates for a 'triple duty' diet: minimally processed foods, plant-heavy meals, and a focus on real ingredients. Listeners can find the full interviews on the NPR website, alongside live in-studio concerts and reviews from previous weeks.
The film Hamnet offers a poignant look at Shakespeare's private sorrow, based on O'Farrell's award-winning novel.
