The World's a stage with John Neville

While John Neville is best known for his iconic film and television roles, this film explores the story of his lesser known (but greatly influential) foray into the world of theatre. Neville began his career in England working with greats such as Sir Laurence Olivier, Dame Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen and good friend Richard Burton. Turning his back on Burton’s invitation in order to become a Hollywood star, Neville stunned the theatre world by leaving Britain and moving to Canada. Through interviews with actors such as Ralph Fiennes, Brent Carver, Lucy Peacock and more, Neville’s tremendous influence reveals the true meaning of what it is to be ‘‘of the theatre.’’
