This is the Season One Finale of Outrageous Fortune podcast. In part two of our conversation with Paul Gross, Geoffrey Tennant himself, continues the interview where we chat about the full-circle moments of preparing to play King Lear at the Stratford Festival, secrets, dreams and the beloved Actors from Slings & Arrows who are no longer with us.

#9 Paul Gross - Part 1

Paul Gross, Geoffrey Tennant himself, joins us in a wide-ranging interview where we chat about playing King Lear at the Stratford Festival, Shakespearian text, and losing your mind. As an acclaimed actor and director, Paul had lots of insight to share about performing on stage and screen.

#8 Niv Fichman

When we started interviews for this podcast, one thing kept coming up: Niv Fichman saved the show. Niv saved the show with an elevator pitch given in an actual elevator.

#7 Martha Burns "Ellen Fanshaw" - Part 2

#6 Martha Burns "Ellen Fanshaw" - Part 1

Martha Burns joined us for an interview after a long day in the rehearsal room to talk about Canadian theatre, difficult women, and more. Much like Ellen Fanshawe, Martha is an acclaimed leading lady with indomitable stage presence and… well, maybe that’s where the similarities end.

#5 Lisa Lambert & Greg Morrison - Lyricist/Composer

It’s a team effort when we talk to both Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison who were instrumental to the music in Slings and Arrows, including the clever, catchy, and beloved theme songs to each season.

#4 Susan Coyne - Part 2

We’ll be very honest: one of the biggest motivating factors for starting this podcast was that it would give us a chance to talk to Susan Coyne.

#3 Susan Coyne - Part 1

We’ll be very honest: one of the biggest motivating factors for starting this podcast was that it would give us a chance to talk to Susan Coyne.

#2 - Mark McKinney

Mark McKinney has been a part of some beloved television ensembles, including Saturday Night Live, The Kids in the Hall, and NBC's Superstore; but of course we know him as General Manager Richard Smith-Jones at the New Burbage Festival, as well as being one of the writers of Slings and Arrows.

#1 - Bob Martin

We kick off with Bob Martin, one of the writers, who also makes a memorable appearance as an actor in the show to deliver one of Shakespeare's most famous speeches. We talk about writing, mentorship, and how the making of Slings and Arrows dovetailed with one of his other works, the Tony Award-winning The Drowsy Chaperone.
