Slings & Arrows On Showcase

[Sirona]

Tomorrow on Showcase^TMat 9:00pm (2100 hrs) our resident celestial being Malcolm Xeres appears as Oberon in the first episode of this short-lived series.


Slings and Arrows takes the viewer on a behind the scenes look at the theatre. Encompassing all the aspects of the theatre: management, casting, publicity...etc. It could have been a contender, however, the series was cancelled after six episodes.

SIRONA,

Thanks for disseminating the intel about my work in SLINGS & ARROWS^TM.

The programme was conceived as a 6-episode miniseries to be broadcast on THE MOVIE NETWORK & SHOWCASE, so it was never actually "cancelled", per se.

...In fact, I worked on an episode of SLINGS & ARROWS II^TM: "BIRNAM WOOD" in DEC. 2004, but have not yet posted about it, for which I do most humbly apologise!

[Sirona]

Thank you for the info Malcolm.

Slings & Arrows is a docu-drama(?). I hadn't realized there was a second series. Please keep me posted as to when they do an encore presentation.

As always, I do try to promote you in any possible manner within my means.

SIRONA,

You are welcome, as always, & your ongoing efforts are much appreciated by me.

SLINGS & ARROWS^TM is more of a Black Comedy than a "docu-drama", but its style of parody could come across as documentarian, I suppose.

I shall be sure to share with you any intel I can glean about the programme.

Salutations Malcolm,

You have incredible vocal range! When your bass voiced boomed out the words from A Midsummer's Night Dream, the rest of cast voices were likened to mice.

Also, it is great to see you accredited for your role.

Sir Ian McKellen would be proud.

Side Note: This is no time for modesty Malcolm, you did a superb scene. Even the bard himself would be pleased.

SIRONA,

Thank you very much; that means a great deal, especially given how successful SIR IAN McKELLEN has been in his career, as a fellow Northerner who manages to get cast in both Shakespearean plays & comic book screen adaptations.

I was actually holding back vocally in those scenes, as the director feared that I would deafen his sound personnel, so I suppose my primary schoolteachers' efforts were not in vain.

You just made me feel as though I am worthy to work with MESSRS. PETER O'TOOLE, CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER, RICHARD BURTON, OLIVER REED, RICHARD HARRIS & BARON OLIVIER OF BRIGHTON - or @ least capable of doing a decent job as OTHELLO^TM!
