DVD Reviews of Slings & Arrows: The Complete Collection
DVD Review: Such a well-written show
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched all these shows 5 times now, and every time in the middle of the season I find myself saying out loud "This is so good." First it is so well written, and also well acted. The characters are interesting and largely believable, and the show has real humor. A TV show for intelligent people. What a treat.DVD Review: slings and arrows dvd
Summary: 5 Stars
a wonderful production not seen on american tv .being an old comunity theater player ,it was wonderful like i haven't left the theater.i know even non theater people will enjoy the antics. dnDVD Review: Hoot and a holler!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen the first season in the 3 season collection and really did hoot. I say this because the kids and husband were in bed and the husband said he woke up to me laughing downstairs.
I just wanted to comment that the language and the sex scenes are not for children, and I wasn't aware of that when I got it, I didn't really check for ratings type of eval, and so was surprised as the video started. I suppose it adds verisimilitude, but I think the story could have done without it.
DVD Review: Not to be missed
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw Slings and Arrows, seasons 1 & 2, on television, bought both DVD's (not usual for me) and had to wait a year to see -and buy- season 3. This is a wonderful series, hilarious, addictive, just the thing you want to give all your grown children so you can laugh together in whichever house you're gathering. It's about a group of wildly ranging characters who are making theatre together-actors, directors, administrators- about their relationships to each other and to the past and future, and it's about the power of theatre itself. Deep, funny, wonderful. DVD Review: The best theater on television!
Summary: 5 Stars
All the rave reviews of this series are understated, compared to how excellent this show actually is. It may be the best television I have ever watched. However I bought it for another reason. It is also an excellent primer for theater directors. Hopefully, as a director, you have a little more mental stability than poor Geoffrey Tennant. But his genus as a director is well worth watching. And for all you unfortunate actors who have suffered under directors who try to tell you exactly what to say, how to say it, where to move and what to feel, Geoffrey Tennant is such a breath of respectful, fresh air. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone interested in theater arts (costume, set and lighting designers will be blown away by the Macbeth.) Good Shakespeare, great television!
Description of Slings & Arrows: The Complete Collection
As seen on the Sundance Channel"Deliciously written" -TV GUIDE
"Big and powerful, a corker" -LOS ANGELES TIMES
"Charming and complex and lovely" -THE NEW YORK TIMES
Showered with awards and critical acclaim, this darkly comic Canadian series follows the fortunes of a dysfunctional Shakespearean theatre troupe, exposing the high drama, scorching battles, and electrifying thrills that happen behind the scenes.
Paul Gross (Due South) stars as Geoffrey Tennant, the passionate but unstable artistic director of the New Burbage Theatre Festival. Haunted by the ghost of his predecessor (Stephen Ouimette), he struggles to realize his creative vision while handling touchy actors, a jittery general manager (Mark McKinney), a pretentious guest director (Don McKellar) and his own tempestuous romance with the festival's leading lady (Martha Burns). The backstage bedlam mirrors the onstage angst as Geoffrey directs three of Shakespeare's masterpieces -- Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear -- one in each season. Guest stars include Rachel McAdams (Wedding Crashers), Colm Feore (Chicago), Sarah Polley (Go, The Sweet Hereafter), and renowned Stratford Festival actor William Hutt in one of his last performances.
DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE cast interviews, bloopers, deleted and extended scenes, photo galleries, production notes, trailers and song lyrics. Plus exclusive bonus disc: "A Look Behind the Scenes" featurette, more cast and crew interviews, and on-set footage.
