Quickly become one of my favo shows ever, Slings & Arrows follows the onstage and backstage drama at the fictional New Burbage Shakespeare Festival.
Originally airing in Canada then on Sundance channel in the US, the DVD sets are widely available. I've only seen three episodes of the first season so
far, but its great. The writing is brilliant, acting is great, the humor is both laugh out loud and subtle. As someone who works in theatre, I must say that it
gets the business down PERFECTLY. The personality types are spot on and the artistic success vs. commercial success is one that every theatre company goes
through.
Sadly, the series only lasted for three seasons (it was originally planned this way) with only six episodes in each season. Hopefully this thread will find an audience and won't die (I checked, the original was on page 21 back in the ez days).
