Slings and Arrows

Few shows have captured the life of a theater company as completely as this Canadian television series. The good news is that even if you’ve never stepped inside a theater to see a play in your life, you’ll still be delighted watching the backstage drama (and comedy) of this imaginary Shakespearean theatre troupe. Paul Gross is fantastic as Geoffrey Tennant, a passionate (and borderline insane) thespian willing to do anything in the name of art, and Stephen Ouimette is his perfect foil playing his mentor, a recently deceased director who haunts the theater.
