'''''Slings and& Arrows''''' is a three-season Canadian dark comedy about the New Burbage Festival, a thinly-veiled [[Fictional Counterpart]] of the Stratford Festival of Canada. It focuses on Geoffrey Tennant's return to the festival as artistic director upon the death of his estranged mentor, Oliver Welles (who immediately returns as a ghost visible only to Geoffrey). Each season is a [[Story Arc]], focusing on Geoffrey's production of a great [[Shakespeare]]an tragedy: the first season does ''[[Hamlet]]'', the second ''[[Macbeth]]'' with a subplot about ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'', and the third ''[[King Lear]]''.
 
'''Characters''':
* '''Geoffrey Tennant''', the artistic director of the festival and archetypical [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]. Played by Paul Gross, of ''[[Due South]]'' fame.
* '''Ellen Fanshaw''', the aging leading woman and Geoffrey's on-again-off-again love interest. If you take a shot every time she insincerely says "sorry," you'll be dead before the end of the episode. Played by Martha Burns.
* '''Richard Smith-Jones''', executive (business) director who nurtures a secret love of musicals. Played by ''[[The Kids in The Hall]]''{{'}}s Mark McKinney.
* '''Oliver Welles''', ghost, [[Spirit Advisor]], and [[Foil]] to Geoffrey. Played by Steven Ouimette.
* '''Anna Conroy''', <s>secretary</s> associate administrative director and frequent doormat. Played by Susan Coyne.
