“Pitch-perfect drama and comedy” — San Francisco Chronicle
“Sweet, smart and seriously addictive” — Philadelphia Inquirer
“The most fully satisfying slice of entertainment in ages” — NewsdayAs seen on the Sundance Channel In its third season, this universally acclaimed series continues to mine dramatic and comic gold from the trials and tribulations of a dysfunctional Canadian theatre troupe, both on- and offstage. Struggling with the unfamiliar burdens of success, the New Burbage theatre festival mounts two ambitious productions: King Lear, Shakespeares epic tragedy, and East Hastings, a debut musical about a heroin-addicted hooker with a heart of gold. Emotionally fragile artistic director Geoffrey Tennant (Paul Gross) coaxes legendary actor Charles Kingman out of semi-retirement to play Lear. But with plenty of personal baggage, Kingman doesnt so much play the part as live it. Meanwhile, the festivals resident bean-counter (Mark McKinney) joins forces with the musicals flamboyant director (Don McKellar) to create the unlikeliest hit in theatre history. Special guest stars include award-winning actor William Hutt of Canadas Stratford Festival and indie-film sensation Sarah Polley (My Life Without Me, The Sweet Hereafter). DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE interviews with Paul Gross and Susan Coyne; extended scenes of King Lear; bloopers; deleted and extra scenes; trailer; production notes; photo gallery, song lyrics, and cast filmographies. Contains strong coarse language
