Slings & Arrows

A superior ensemble cast highlights this witty series about washed-up actor Geoffrey Tennant (Paul Gross), whose failing attempts to run the Shakesperean New Burbage Festival are rescued by his brilliant mentor, Oliver Welles (Stephen Ouimette), who happens to be ... a ghost. While staging "Hamlet," "Macbeth" and "King Lear," Tennant wrangles temperamental actors, demanding sponsors and his tempestuous relationship with an actress (Martha Burns).
