Paul Mescal excited for Chloe Zhao’s take on Shakespeare story ‘Hamnet’

In director Chloe Zhao's "Hamnet," the Oscar winner tells the story of William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes overcoming the death of their 11-year old son. Paul Mescal, who portrays Shakespeare in the film, told Reuters at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday (September 7), that he was "just so curious to see what somebody with her kind of genius around filmmaking would do with a story" that's "so quintessentially British."
