When Shakespeare said "To be or not to be", the guy next to me whispered, "That is the question." Okay, showoff.
Hamnet is beautiful. The last portion when Agnes is watching the play is phenomenal. Obviously this is about grief, but I really appreciate the moments of joy with the children, like Hamnet practicing his sword fighting with his dad and the twins changing places.
