Hamnet The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre Tickets & Info
Step into the captivating world of Hamnet, a powerful theatrical experience set in Chicago on March 4, 2026. This riveting production explores the poignant story of a young boy believed to have died at age eleven in 1596, offering a deeply emotional journey into loss, family, and the enduring legacy of Shakespeare's family. Discover the fascinating history behind William Shakespeare, who was a glove-maker before becoming one of the greatest playwrights in history. His son Hamnet, born in February 1585 in Stratford-upon-Avon, often overshadowed by his father's fame, is depicted with depth and nuance, highlighting the personal side of the Bard’s life. The play thoughtfully weaves elements of mourning and absence, inspired by Shakespeare’s own grief following Hamnet’s death, which likely influenced his later works. Visiting the historic Stratford-upon-Avon, where Shakespeare grew up and the family home is now a popular heritage site, enriches the understanding of this timeless story. Experience stunning visuals paired with exceptional musical numbers that bring this emotional tale to life, creating an immersive theatrical journey.
