| 0:00.0 | This is Jane Pauley. Hamnet is a best-selling book that's become a much anticipated new movie. |
| 0:07.6 | Sunday morning Seth Done sat down with one of its stars, Irish singer and actor Jesse Buckley. |
| 0:15.8 | On Hamlet, The New York Times says, Buckley's performance of loss seems to draw from some dark place |
| 0:22.9 | where every parent's worst nightmare has pooled. Her scream is both unfathomable and instantly |
| 0:29.5 | recognizable. What do you make of that description? I think the idea of losing a child is unfathomable. |
| 0:43.9 | I hope I like touched the edges of what that truth might be, but you know, I don't have |

| 2:29.0 | That's really hard. |
| 2:30.2 | But when you have a leader and colleagues and collaborators |
