Series Summary

Slings and Arrows is a Canadian TV series, and allusion to William Shakespeare's Hamlet, set at the fictional New Burbage Festival; a troubled Shakespearean festival similar to the real-world Stratford Festival. The show was co-created and co-written by former Kids in the Hall member Mark McKinney, playwright and actress Susan Coyne, and comedian Bob Martin, the Tony-award winning co-creator of The Drowsy Chaperone.
