William Shakespeare had one son named Hamnet. Hamnet died when he was 11. In 1599, Shakespeare wrote a play called Hamlet. A solo work for an eleven year old boy, Hamnet uses live video and dead video to bridge the gap between two generations, asking each other what they want to pass on and receive. 

Hamnet premiered at FIND festival 2017 in the Schaubhune, Berlin. It made it's Irish Premier in the Peacock Theatre in Dublin Theatre Festival 2017 in October.
