Win tickets to see RSC's Hamnet plus enjoy a meal at Covent Garden Hotel

We've teamed up with the RSC and Covent Garden Hotel to bring you this competition to win tickets to see Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet plus a meal for two at Brasserie Max.

Experience the Royal Shakespeare Company's hotly anticipated world premiere production of Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet as it transfers to London's Garrick Theatre this autumn following a sell-out run in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Warickshire, 1582. Agnes Hathaway, a natural healer, meets the Latin tutor, William Shakespeare. Drawn together by powerful but hidden impulses, they create a life together and make a family.

When the plague steals 11-year-old Hamnet from his loving parents, they must each confront their loss alone. And yet, out of the greatest suffering, something of extradordinary wonder is born.

Based on Maggie O'Farrell's best-selling novel and adapted by award-winning playwright Lolita Chakrabarti (Life of Pi, Red Velvet, Hymn), Hamnet pulls back a curtain on the story of the greatest writer in the English language and the woman who was the constant presence and purpose of his life.

‘She’s like no one I’ve ever met... She’s like fire and water all at once.’
‘Pure theatre gold’ Mail on Sunday
‘Evocative and beautifully acted’ The Times

Hamnet transfers to the Garrick Theatre for a limited season from 30 September 2023 to 17 February 2024. Book your tickets now.

One member can win a pair of tickets to the show plus a meal for two at Brasserie Max, the beautifully designed bar and restaurant within Covent Garden Hotel, which serves brasserie classics alongside more modern European dishes. Located on Monmouth Street in Seven Dials, Covent Garden Hotel is surrounded by some of London's most exciting shops and galleries.
