The Performance
The Performance is a wonderfully dramatic and heartbreaking film that follows a well known actor as he prepares for a one night only performance in a theater run down by time. It was the home of his first performance over 60 years before and as the night progresses he reflects on a lifetime of regrets whilst trying to ensure that it’s a performance that will be forever remembered.

Stephen is one of Canada’s top writers and directors with 4 feature films coming out in the next 6 months. These include the highly praised “The Martini Shot” with Matthew Modine, John Cleese and Derek Jacobi as well as Burt Reynolds’ final film “Defining Moments”. With three new films shooting in 2024, he’s becoming one of the hottest directors out of Canada in some time.
This film is an unique look at one’s life. Done almost purely on a single stage and with a wonderful cast of some of Canada’s greatest actors it is a film that attempts to reach into the soul of its main character and lay it bare to an audience. As Actors do.
