Focus Features
On November 19, you and a guest are invited to see a New York screening of Hamnet. The show will begin at 7:30 pm at AMC Lincoln Square which means we'll all get to see the movie on the big screen together!
If you're interested in attending, you can sign up here. But don't want too long — it's a first come, first serve basis.

What is the story of the Hamnet?
The movie follows William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes after a family tragedy changes their lives. But in addition to navigating a new and unexpected phase of their relationship, the change also prompts Shakespeare to create what's arguably his most iconic work: Hamlet.
Is Hamnet spicy?

Focus Features
Hamnet seems to be more about emotion than super spicy moments, but IMDb does note the movie is rated PG-13 for "thematic content, some strong sexuality, and partial nudity."
