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.
