Genres: Drama

Starring: Paul Gross (Due South), Don McKellar (Childstar), Martha Burns (Screening), and Mark McKinney (The Kids in the Hall) with season-long guest stars Rachel McAdams (The Notebook) in Season 1, Colm Feore (Chicago) in Season 2, and indie sensation Sarah Polley (The Sweet Hereafter) and renowned Stratford Festival actor William Hutt in one of his last performances in Season 3.
Plot Synopsis: Dramatizing the backstage trials and tribulations of a Shakespearean theatre troupe, Slings & Arrows features intelligent writing, masterful acting, and a stellar ensemble cast. Paul Gross stars as Geoffrey Tennant, the passionate but unstable artistic director of the New Burbage Theatre Festival. Haunted by the ghost of his predecessor and former mentor (Stephen Ouimette), he struggles to realize his creative vision while handling touchy actors, a jittery general manager (Mark McKinney), a pretentious guest director (Don McKellar), and his own tempestuous romance with the Festival’s leading lady (Martha Burns). The backstage bedlam mirrors the onstage angst as Geoffrey directs three of Shakespeare’s masterpieces— Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear—one in each season.
