John Bell: One Man Show is a special tribute to award-winning icon of Australian theatre. It records a lifetime spent enthralling audiences, as on the eve of his 75th birthday the actor bows out of Bell Shakespeare, the company he founded 25 years ago. This documentary observes John Bell preparing his final show and includes interviews with friends, family and colleagues. Spine-tingling archival footage tells the story of the young Shakespeare obsessive, who once entertained his parents with his one-man puppet show version of Macbeth.
