NEW YORK (WABC) -- The story behind Williams Shakespeare's masterpiece, "Hamlet" is now out in theatres, starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal called "Hamnet."

The movie is based on real life events, but tells the fictional tale of Shakespeare and the people he loved most in life.

Eyewitness News entertainment reporter Joelle Garguilo spoke with the cast.

For centuries, historians have dug into Shakespeare's past, but some stories live between the lines.

Hamnet imagines what they couldn't find, the story of William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes, grieving the loss of their only son, a loss that may have inspired one of the greatest tragedies ever written.

Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley bring the couple to life.
