Ken and I attended performances as often as possible, when we lived in Toronto. The tickets were inexpensive because Ken was a student. The Shakespearean Festival at Stratford was an hour and a half drive so we often attended a matinee and an evening performance. In 1964 we moved to Texas and have not been back since. But now we are vicariously living life at Stratford. through Slings and Arrows.
Dave and Irene gave us for Christmas the complete set of Slings and Arrows, a comic Canadian series that followed a Shakespearean theater troupe. Every one knew it was really all about Stratford. We watched the first set in Texas and put it away for Murdoch Mysteries, but now we are watching two shows each evening. The highs and lows of the theater company are on full display and we are enjoying every minute. The series is funny and it is sad but it definitely is not boring. I had never even heard of the series until they gave us the discs but now we are enjoying them thoroughly.
In truth, there is a whole world out there that we know nothing about. But now we know all about the series Slings and Arrows, thanks to Dave and Irene.
