Airing weekly in Canada on The Movie Network, this darkly comic Canadian drama series had the critics piling on the superlatives from the very first episode. On the theory that "the real show is backstage," it follows the fortunes of a dysfunctional Shakespearean theatre troupe, making fun of the excesses of the actors for whom art (and ego) is everything, as well as the "suits" who want to turn the theatre into a Shakespearean theme park. It accomplishes the neat trick of being a laugh-out loud comedy and a moving drama, with characters whose fortunes, however outrageious, become addictively important to viewers. With a production of HAMLET as the central plot line in Season 1, there are theatre jokes aplenty - including a ghost who only appears to one tortured soul. But as the LOS ANGELES TIMES put it: "You don't even have to know or like Shakespeare to enjoy it."
