Hamnet The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre Tickets & Info
Step into the haunting world of Hamnet, a powerful theatrical experience that explores the mystery and tragedy surrounding Shakespeare's son, Hamnet. While historical records suggest Hamnet died of the plague—a common and devastating illness of his time—details remain scarce, with only a few official documents confirming his baptism and burial. His grave, unmarked and without an inscription, symbolizes the fleeting nature of life and the enduring curiosity about the personal stories behind historical figures. This performance brings to life the emotional depth and quiet resilience of a family touched by loss, connecting audiences with a profound narrative rooted in history. Join us at The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre on February 19, 2026, to witness this moving story unfold.

Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a celebration that honors history, memory, and the human spirit—make every moment unforgettable at Hamnet.
