Badlands Books

Paul and his wife Martha Burns, star in this wonderful opening season series. Showered with awards and critical acclaim, this darkly comic Canadian series follows the fortunes of a dysfunctional Shakesperean theatre troupe, exposing the high drama scorching battles, and artistic miracles that happen behind the scenes. The New York Times review said, in part - “Don't be lazily put off by the subject of Shakespeare or the nine Gemini nominations (The Geminis are Canada's television awards and unlike the Emmys they untypically go to dispiritingly worthy endeavors.) Slings and Arrows is consistently engaging and it's often painful and gorgeous. The passion and sincerity of the characters, actors who won't do commercials and directors who resist corporate sponsorship, come to seem commonplace in the Canadian way. And the tears - the viewer tears - will be real. ...It might not sound promising in a pitch meeting - a show about bitter, middle-aged Shakespeareans - but ‘Slings and Arrows' is charming and complex and lovely. Canadians: how do they do it?”
