    Shakespeare Theatre Company: Hamnet Ticket Giveaway

    Enter by: March 22, 2026

    When the plague steals 11-year-old Hamnet from his loving parents, Agnes and William, they must each confront their loss alone. And yet, out of the greatest suffering, something of extraordinary wonder is born. Experience the U.S. premiere of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s “sweeping and sentimental” (The Guardian) stage adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s best-selling novel, adapted by award-winning playwright Lolita Chakrabarti (Life of Pi) and directed by Erica Whyman.

    This event is brought to you by WETA+, where public media viewers in the D.C. area can stream the best of PBS and WETA programs. 

    Enter to win tickets for Hamnet on WETA+ Night on March 31st at S-T-C Shakespeare Theatre Company. Three winners will be drawn from qualifying entries.
