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 first episode we encounter Geoffrey Tennant, the company's flamboyant director as he tries to save his theatre from eviction by chaining himself to its doors. We also meet Oliver Wells, once a partner of Geoffrey's before he walked out on a famous production of Hamlet 7 years earlier. Oliver wrestles with the existential angst of his successful, but artistically hollow, theater festival, while Geoffrey is considered a hero by his ensemble for trying to protect the Theater Sans Argent. In an intoxicated state, after an apparently successful opening of the festival, Oliver attempts to contact Geoffrey who will no longer speak to him. Oliver passes out in the street, and is killed by a passing pork transport truck. <46mn 28s>
