John Bell AO, OBE
John Bell, AO, OBE is an Australian actor and theatre director. In 1990, Bell founded the theatre company Bell Shakespeare. He has been named an Australian Living Treasure.
Few contemporary Australians can look back on a longer or more successful theatre career than John Bell. Here he shares some initiatives of the company he founded, Bell Shakespeare, and acknowledges a great debt of gratitude to two teachers at Maitland Marist Brothers (now St Peter’s Campus, All Saints College).
