From Acorn Media, Slings & Arrows: The Complete Collection on DVD is a 7-volume boxed set of the universally acclaimed hit Sundance Channel series with all 18 episodes plus a bonus disc with all new extra bonus features.
Slings & Arrows stars Paul Gross (Due South) and Mark McKinney (Saturday Night Live, Kids in the Hall).
Combing hilarious satire with heartfelt human drama, S&A mines dramatic and comic gold from the personal and professional crises of a dysfunctional Canadian theatre troupe. Winner of 8 Geminis for the first two seasons, the final season swept all the major 2007 awards. Guest stars include Rachel McAdams (The Notebook, Mean Girls), indie sensation Sarah Polley (Away From Her, Go, The Sweet Hereafter) and renowned Stratford Festival actor William Hutt in one of his last performances. The New York Times called it "Absolutely addictive" while the San Francisco Chronicle said, "An exceptionally well crafted, beautifully nuanced and wonderfully smart series…an almost unexplainable level of pitch-perfect drama and comedy."
Gross is the artistic director of The New Burbage Theatre Festival who’s living in the shadow of his predecessor and dealing with touchy actors, a jittery general manager, a pretentious guest director and his own romance with the festival’s leading lady.
The set contains all 18 episodes, giving you about 14 hours of pure enjoyment, not including the bonus features. It’s also optimized for 16:9 widescreen.
