Show detail Hide detail

SLINGS AND ARROWS, Season One, is a one-hour format drama that follows the workings of a major theater festival in southern Ontario. In this episode Richard is overwhelmed by the task of filling in for the now deceased theater director. Oliver is prepared for his funeral on the center stage of the festival theater, and his secretary discovers a letter containing his final wishes in the event of his untimely death. Geoffrey comes by to visit Oliver's body as it waits for the funeral and is shocked when Oliver begins to speak to him from his casket. Kate, the young apprentice, skips out on rehearsal for a commercial audition and is worried about missing the evenings show. She returns to discover the news of Oliver's death, but cannot attend the funeral because, to her chagrin, she was successful audition. The funeral is a fairly tacky affair as actors and friends come to give their anecdotes on his death, but surprisingly Geoffrey shows his face at the service to show his respects but also to condemn the current state of the festival. In a surprising twist the board decides that Geoffrey would be appropriate as interim director. Geoffrey also decides to carry out the last wish of Oliver which was to have his head removed from his body before burial and for his skull to be used in all future productions of Hamlet. <46mn 28s>
