TRAILERS
CAST
The Truth Will Out assembles an unprecedented ensemble of theatrical royalty and leading literary authorities to challenge history’s greatest narrative. Anchoring this formidable lineup is the legendary Sir Derek Jacobi (Gladiator, I Claudius). With over 350 screen and stage credits, Sir Derek is not only a titan of classical acting but a lifelong champion of the Oxfordian theory, lending his immense gravitas to the film’s central revelation.
Joining him are celebrated veterans of the British stage and screen, including Annabel Leventon (The Rocky Horror Picture Show) and Richard Clifford, whose deep intimacy with the Shakespearean canon brings a vital, performer’s perspective to the mystery.
Beyond the stage, the film features the sharpest minds in the field. Acclaimed journalist and author Elizabeth Winkler, alongside distinguished scholars Hank Whittemore and Ron Destro, provide the rigorous intellectual backbone of the investigation. Led by director and narrator Amanda Eliasch, this cast does not merely perform; they testify. Together, these voices bridge the gap between the Elizabethan stage and modern scholarship, creating a powerful chorus that demands the world finally listen to the truth about Edward de Vere.
