Laurence Olivier's main passion in life was theatre. Most of his cinema work was done just to get money for new theatrical productions. Thanks to this, Olivier reigned in the stages during the whole 20th century, as an actor and as a producer (what we call now director). In addition, he was the first director of England's National Theatre and the first actor ever to receive a life peerage. Olivier also participated in charitable galas, TV plays and radio plays. All these works are compiled here, for the first time, with complete details of every stage performance, comments by Olivier himself and hundreds of reviews that appeared in the newspapers of the period.
