575: Hamnet Special: Chloé Zhao, Paul Mescal & Jessie Buckley

from Soundtracking with Edith Bowman · host Edith Bowman

We have a Hamnet special for you on Soundtracking, as first writer / director Chloe Zhao and stars Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley join Edith. Based on Maggie O'Farrell's novel - who also worked on the script - it tells the story of how the horrendous tragedy that strikes Shakespeare and his wife, Agnes, inspires him to write Hamlet. Hamnet is scored by friend of the show Max Richter, and we'll hear plenty of his music throughout the episode.SocialsSoundtracking On Instagram Edith's Instagram Soundtracking Extra On Youtube
