An email list for discussion of the Canadian series "Slings & Arrows", which is set in the fictional New Burbage Theater Festival, starring Paul Gross. It's currently airing in the United States on the Sundance Channel.
"“Slings and Arrows” details the daily activities at the New Burbage Theatre Festival, a Shakespearean theatre company where brilliant actor-turned-director Geoffrey Tennant (Paul Gross, “Due South”) has reluctantly taken on the role of Artistic Director following the sudden demise of his onetime mentor, Oliver Welles (Stephen Ouimette, The Adjuster). Geoffrey’s first season directing the New Burbage was marked by outrageous fortune, as his return was greeted frostily by his ex-girlfriend, leading lady Ellen Fanshaw (Martha Burns, Thanks of a Grateful Nation); General Manager Richard Smith-Jones (Mark McKinney, “Kids in the Hall”) fell under the influence of a conniving board member; and the flagship production of “Hamlet” threatened to turn into a disaster under the direction of preening no-talent Darren Nichols (Don McKellar). Meanwhile, Geoffrey struggled to maintain his sanity during numerous visits from the ghostly Oliver, who proved to be as opinionated in death as in life. Reviewing the first season of “Slings and Arrows” when it aired on Sundance Channel, Virginia Heffernan of The New York Times called the series “charming and complex and lovely.”"
