Ahead of its world premiere this spring, Maggie O’Farrell’s Hamnet will transfer to the West End. Hamnet begins previews at the Garrick Theatre on 30 September, with an opening night on 12 October, and performances to 20 Jan. 2024.
Set in 1580s Warwickshire, Hamnet follows Agnes Hathaway who meets William Shakespeare. When the plague forces Shakespeare and his wife to lose their only son, a person’s loss gives birth to a new life.
“The motivation, for me, in writing the novel was to give a voice and a presence to the only son of William Shakespeare, who died when he was eleven and has ever since been relegated to a literary footnote in his father’s biography,” said O’Farrell.
“Although Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon and maintained strong ties with the town throughout his life, choosing to return to his family there when he retired, London was of course the centre of his professional life. It feels particularly apt and moving, therefore, that a play which puts Hamnet centre stage will now move to the world of theatrical London.”
Lolita Chakrabarati adapts Hamnet. She previously adapted Yann Martel’s Life of Pi, winning Best New Play at the 2022 Olivier Awards.
Madeleine Mantock will play Agnes Hathaway, with further casting to be announced. Erica Whyman directs, with set and costume Design by Tom Piper, lighting design by Prema Mehta, sound design by Xana, music by Oğuz Kaplangi, and movement by Ayse Tashkiran.
Hamnet is at the Garrick Theatre.
De eerste optredens van Madeleine in het theaterstuk ‘Blithe Spirit’ zijn een feit. Op 21 september was de eerste voorstelling voor de pers waar de eerste stills zijn gemaakt.

Madeleine heeft haar eerste nieuwe project gevonden na haar vertrek bij ‘Charmed’! Ze is gecast in het theatherstuk Blithe Spirit op het Londense West End, ze zal vanaf 16 september voor 8 weken te zien zijn in de rol van Elvira. Het stuk is is in 1941 geschreven door Noël Coward.
It was announced today that Madeleine Mantock will be making her West End debut as she steps into the role of Elvira in the West End production of Blithe Spirit playing at the Harold Pinter Theatre from 16 September for a limited 8-week run.
Madeline recently played Macy Vaughn in CBS studios series Charmed and Miss Clara in the BBC’s The Long Song. Other TV credits include; Casualty, The Tomorrow People, Age Before Beauty and Into the Badlands. Films include: Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise, Breaking Brooklyn and The Truth Commissioner.
She will be starring in the witty comedy alongside British comedy institution, Jennifer Saunders, who will revive her role as the clairvoyant Madame Arcati. They will be joined by original cast members Geoffrey Streatfield (Spooks, The Thick of It, RSC’s Histories Cycle) as Charles Condomine, Lisa Dillon (BBC’s Cranford, RSC’s The Roaring Girl and The Taming of the Shrew, the Old Vic’s Design for Living) as Ruth Condomine, Simon Coates (1984, Richard III at the Almeida, King John at Shakespeare’s Globe) as Dr Bradman, Lucy Robinson (Handbagged at the Vaudeville Theatre, Coronation Street, Call The Midwife) as Mrs Bradman and Rose Wardlaw (The Winters Tale, Shakespeare’s Globe, Call The Midwife and Doctors) as Edith.
The production brings together a distinguished and multi-award-winning creative team, directed by former National Theatre director Sir Richard Eyre with design by Anthony Ward, lighting by Howard Harrison, sound by John Leonard and illusions by Paul Kieve. Sir Richard Eyre was at the helm of the National Theatre for 10 years and is the winner of five Olivier Awards including a Lifetime Achievement Award. His numerous hugely-acclaimed productions include Guys and Dolls, The Invention of Love and Private Lives. His award- winning film and television work includes Iris, Tumbledown and The Children Act.
The hilarious Blithe Spirit was written in 1941 by English playwright Noël Coward to provide a distraction at the height of the World War II when it was staged for the first time. The gone-wrong, witty and meticulously engineered comedy tells the story of a couple haunted by a previous relationship – literally.
The show had a record-breaking run in the West End and on Broadway and remains one of the playwright’s most popular works.
Novelist Charles Condomine and his second wife Ruth are literally haunted by a past relationship when an eccentric medium inadvertently conjures up the ghost of his first wife, Elvira, at a séance. When she appears, visible only to Charles, and determined to sabotage his current marriage, life – and the afterlife – get complicated.
With an award-winning creative team bringing Blithe Spirit to life on stage in the West End, this production promises lots of laughs, sparks and spirit-lifting hijinks! Get your tickets to see this iconic show below.

All my love,

Actrice Madeleine Mantock die vanaf het eerste seizoen is te zien als oudste en half-zus Macy Vaughn heeft besloten de serie te verlaten. In een persbericht aan TVLine laat ze weten dat ze dankbaar aan de CW en CBS studios is voor haar tijd bij de serie en dat ze haar steunde bij haar moeilijke besluit te vertrekken. Daarnaast bedankt ze de fans en weer ze zeker dat het vierde seizoen spectaculair zal zijn. Madeleine deelt niet de redenen voor haar besluit te vertrekken maar dit houd wel in dat ze a.s. vrijdag in de seizoensfinale van seizoen 3 voor het laatst te zien zal zijn.
Showrunners Lix Kruger en Craig Shapiro laten weten dat ze haar net als de fans zullen missen, en dankbaar zijn het geweldige en inspirerende werk dat ze voor de ‘Charmed’ gedaan heeft. Ook respecteren ze haar besluit in deze moeitelijk tijd waarin iedereen zijn hart moet volgend. Ze wensen haar het alle beste en laten de deur voor haar open zodat ze kan terugkeren als Macy, op welke manier dan ook…
Veel website vinden dat met Madeleine besluit te vertrekken de geschiedenis zich herhaald, dit omdat in de orignele serie actrice Shannen Doherty ook vertrok uit de serie na het derde seizoen. Het is nog even afwachten hoe Macy verhaallijn in seizoen 3 tot een einde komt en in 2022 zullen we zullen wat dit inhoud voor het vierde seizoen die vanaf dan te zien zal zijn.
The Power of Two will have to do when Charmed returns for its fourth season next year. Madeleine Mantock, who has played eldest sister Macy Vaughn since the reboot premiered in 2018, will not be returning, TVLine has learned exclusively.
“Playing Macy on Charmed for the last three seasons has been an immense privilege and I have so enjoyed working with our fantastic producers, creatives, cast and crew,” Mantock tells TVLine in an exclusive statement. “I’m incredibly grateful to The CW and CBS Studios for my time on the show and for being a brilliant support in my difficult decision to leave. Huge thanks to our fans who can look forward to, what I know will be, a spectacular fourth season.”
Only one episode remains in Charmed‘s third season, making Friday’s finale (The CW, 8/7c) Mantock’s final episode as a series regular.
“We can’t thank Madeleine enough for her incredible and inspiring work on Charmed,” showrunners Liz Kruger and Craig Shapiro tell TVLine exclusively. “We will miss her as much as the fans will, but we also respect her decision to move on. This is a difficult time in the world, and everyone has to follow their heart. We wish her well, and the door is always open for a return visit from Macy…one way or another!”
Coincidentally, Shannen Doherty — who portrayed eldest sister Prue Halliwell on the original Charmed — also departed the WB drama after three seasons. Her exit resulted in Prue’s death, as well as the arrival of long-lost fourth sister Paige (Rose McGowan).
A few key questions remain: How will Macy be written off the show? Will Mel and Maggie discover another long-lost sister with whom to reconstitute the Power of Three, or might another relative like Josefina simply take her place? And what does this mean for Harry, who was so in love with Macy that he gave up his immortality to grow old with her? Some of those will likely be answered during Friday’s finale, while others will roll over to Season 4, which is expected to premiere in early 2022.
For now, all we can do is speculate based on the finale’s official logline: “When an encounter with the Whispering Evil leaves Macy on the brink of death, Mel and Maggie cast an ancient spell sending the Charmed Ones off on a series of epic adventures. Meanwhile, realizing only a Whitelighter can save Macy, Harry asks Jordan and Celeste to help him do the unthinkable.”The Power of Two will have to do when Charmed returns for its fourth season next year.
