A scene from Hamnet 2025
Mary Shakespeare

Your mother's trying to... keep a grip on her child. It won't work. What is given may be taken away at any time. We must never let our guard down. Never take for granted... that our children's hearts beat, that they draw breath, that they walk and speak and... smile, argue, play. Never forget for a moment that they may be gone.
