    Special: 2020 Cast Reunion

Plot Synopsis

This darkly comic Canadian scripted series follows the fortunes of a dysfunctional Shakespearean theater troupe, exposing the high drama, scorching battles, and electrifying thrills that happen behind the scenes. The series was nominated for 50 awards in three seasons and won 22 awards for acting, writing, direction and more. Washed-up actor Geoffrey Tennant returns to the New Burbage Theatre -- the site of his acting triumph and his career-ending meltdown -- to assume the artistic directorship after the sudden death of his mentor, Oliver Welles. The backstage bedlam mirrors the onstage angst as each season transports viewers to one of three Shakespeare masterpieces: Hamlet (Season 1), Macbeth (Season 2), and King Lear (Season 3).
