Also on Monday, at 10 p.m. ET,
Slings & Arrows returns to The
Movie Network for its third and final season. From the official
website:
"Taking viewers backstage into the
misadventures of the New Burbage Theatre Festival, in season three,
Artistic Director Geoffrey (Paul Gross) is burdened with the pressure
to produce a follow-up to his previous hit production Macbeth. With
his ghostly mentor Oliver Wells (Stephen Ouimette) too busy trying to
'crossover,' and his one-time love Ellen (Martha Burns) preoccupied
by the effects of his troubling mental state on her, Geoffrey finds
support in Charles Kingsman (William Hutt), an aging Canadian actor
wrestling with the fear of playing King Lear. Unbeknownst to
Geoffrey, Charles is also the one person harbouring a secret that
could jeopardize the entire production as well as his own future at
the festival."
