Just finished watching all three seasons of it and can't get enough of it.
Adored it, of course. A show that gets the theater right from top to bottom and made me miss show business.
The show tracks a Canadian festival's mountings of Shakespeare plays and one musical.
They almost made me like "Romeo and Juliet." And I'm now a "Hamlet" convert.
I'm partial to the stage manager character, of course. But I have a fondness for Anna, the associate administrative director.
Can't re-fashion it into an American show, like "The Office" or "Queer as Folk," because we don't really have a national theater or a theater festival familiar enough to portray. No Stratford or Shaw Festival or RSC. Transposed to community theater, it might work.
