Season 1 ( 2003-11-03)

Geoffrey Tennant returns to the New Burbage Theatre—the site of his own acting triumph and career-ending meltdown—to assume the artistic directorship after the sudden death of his mentor, Oliver Welles. Believing that theatre is meant to provoke not anesthetize, Geoffrey takes on the suits who want to turn the festival into a theme park, a director who runs amuck with Hamlet, and his own demons, including Oliver—who returns to haunt him.
