Meanwhile, the cast of Hamnet joined Maggie O’Farrell, who wrote the novel upon which the film is based, at the Charlotte Street Hotel for a special screening and Q&A hosted by director Sam Taylor-Johnson. Her husband, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, came along sporting a bushy beard from the set of Werwulf, a forthcoming horror movie by the director of Nosferatu. Afterwards, Hamnet co-stars Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley went up the road to the Tristan Hoare gallery in Fitzrovia for an exhibition dedicated to film.
