Ghosts are a part of ordinary life here, a way of coping with grief in a world where plague and illness are constant visitors. And if Hamnet’s first act periodically descends into romanticised Tudor twee, its second act is utterly heartbreaking as it captures the emotional intensity of a whole family battling the horrors of death as one, an endless fire burning to smoke out the sickness.

Hale, who mistakes power for wisdom, claims fate has determined that the Osage Nation’s time has come to an end. “This wealth will run dry,” he tells Ernest. “They’re a big-hearted people, but sickly.” Clarisse Loughrey | Chief film critic   Dance | [Black Sabbath – the Ballet](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnFfwtP0SSaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvYXJ0cy1lbnRlcnRhaW5tZW50L3RoZWF0cmUtZGFuY2UvcmV2aWV3cy9zb25nLW9mLXNvbmdzLXJldmlldy1wYW0tdGFub3dpdHotZGF2aWQtbGFuZy1iMjQyODQ0Ni5odG1sP2xpZD0zZ2RrdGRkY2tsbDBXBXNwY2V1QgplLS13M2WvydwsUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~) There’s an irresistible oomph to [Birmingham Royal Ballet](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnFfwtP0RMaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvdG9waWMvYmlybWluZ2hhbS1yb3lhbC1iYWxsZXQ_bGlkPWRza2hsaXJiZTYybVcFc3BjZXVCCmUtLXczZa_J3CxSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAADIw~~)’s celebration of [Black Sabbath](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnFfwtP0RCaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvdG9waWMvYmxhY2stc2FiYmF0aD9saWQ9cXVjOXZtcnB1Y2E1VwVzcGNldUIKZS0tdzNlr8ncLFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMj).

They may have spent their recent era breaking their own box office records on a series of global excursions, but the rest of the 18 years since their last studio album of new songs, 2005’s A Bigger Bang, had been characterised by drift and delay. Richards, beaming and chortling at the end of a Zoom connection, is happy to apportion praise. “I’ve got to give Mick hats off for this push,” he tells me. “He said ‘Come on, we’ve just got to do something. Doesn’t matter what we do, we’ve got to make a record.’ I said ‘Ok, let’s not pussyfoot about. You’ve got what you want to sing, let’s go.’ And the man had got a lot stored up.” [Read the full interview here](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnFfwtP0STaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvYXJ0cy1lbnRlcnRhaW5tZW50L211c2ljL2ZlYXR1cmVzL3JvbGxpbmctc3RvbmVzLWphZ2dlci1yaWNoYXJkcy13b29kLWhhY2tuZXktZGlhbW9uZHMtYjI0MzI0NzAuaHRtbD9saWQ9aXZpOG5hN3RqdGQ3VwVzcGNldUIKZS0tdzNlr8ncLFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMj) ~/AAAHagA~/RgRnFfwtP0RjaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvdHYvY3VsdHVyZS9iaWctYnJvdGhlci1pdHYtYmluZ2Utd2F0Y2gtYjI0MjUyODUuaHRtbD9saWQ9N200czZ3aTJ5YjhyVwVzcGNldUIKZS0tdzNlr8ncLFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMj [INDYBEST](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnFfwtP0Q-aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvZXh0cmFzL2luZHliZXN0P2xpZD10eXpmb3Z1ODZ3enhXBXNwY2V1QgplLS13M2WvydwsUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~) / [BEST BUYS](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnFfwtP0RPaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvZXh0cmFzL2luZHliZXN0L291dGRvb3ItYWN0aXZpdHk_bGlkPWoxdWZ0a3NpMmpmeFcFc3BjZXVCCmUtLXczZa_J3CxSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAADIw~~) ~/AAAHagA~/RgRnFfwtP0R6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvZXh0cmFzL2luZHliZXN0L2Jvb2tzL2xlc3NvbnMtaW4tY2hlbWlzdHJ5LWJvb2stYW1hem9uLXJldmlldy1iMjQyODU1NC5odG1sP2xpZD13bW1idGFlNzFlMjFXBXNwY2V1QgplLS13M2WvydwsUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~ The TV adaptation of Bonnie Garmus's Lessons in Chemistry has landed on Apple TV.
