Giveaway Contest: BBC America’s “Emma”, “Cranford Collection”

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!

You know there’s nothing Nice Girls like to do more than hold contests and give away prizes. And what prizes we have for you today! If you are a fan of Jane Austen and Elizabeth Gaskell, this is your chance to add to your collection.

First up, and being a Nice Girl herself, we have BBC’s Emma. Fresh and funny, this new adaptation of the Jane Austen classic features a stellar cast  including Romola Garai (Atonement, Vanity Fair), Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting) and Michael Gambon (Harry Potter).

21-year-old Emma Woodhouse has very little to worry about.  She is beautiful, clever, rich, with a comfortable home and some of the best blessings of existence.  More than anything, she loves playing matchmaker to her friends and family, so when young, pretty, naive and socially inferior Harriet arrives, Emma decides to indulge her passion.  She persuades Harriet to reject an advantageous marriage proposal from a local farmer in order to hold out for an offer from the dashing Mr. Elton. But Emma soon discovers that Mr. Elton is far more socially ambitious and mercenary than she had ever realized, and her advice to Harriet goes terribly awry.

This adaption stars Romola Garai, Louise Dylan (Merlin), Jonny Lee Miller , Michael Gambon, Rupert Evans, Jodhi May, Robert Bathurst.

Next for your pleasure, we have the combined set of Return to Cranford and The Cranford Collection. Oscar©-winner Judi Dench (Notes on a Scandal, Casino Royale) heads a stellar cast including Michael Gambon (Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films), Eileen Atkins (Cold Mountain, Gosford Park), Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake) and more in this witty and poignant story which follows the small absurdities and major tragedies in the lives of the people of Cranford.

Cranford in the 1840s is on the cusp of change. The railway is pushing its way relentlessly towards the town, bringing fears of migrant workers and the breakdown of law and order. The arrival of Frank Harrison, a handsome new doctor from London, causes a stir, not only because of his revolutionary medical methods, but also because of the effect he has on many female hearts in the town.

The series also stars Francesca Annis (Jane Eyre), Philip Glenister (Life on Mars, State of Play), Alex Jennings (The Queen, The State Within), Dean Lennox Kelly (Shameless), Lesley Manville (Vera Drake, North and South), Julia McKenzie (Notes on a Scandal), Julia Sawalha (Absolutely Fabulous, Pride & Prejudice), Greg Wise (Madame Bovary), and Simon Woods (Rome).

Slings & Arrows: Tragedy & Comedy in a Small Town (GIVEAWAY!)

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?

Hamlet, Act III, Scene 1

We’re at the height of the new fall television season, and I’m captivated by a Canadian series that ended three years ago. In my defense, Eastwick star and Nice Boy Paul Gross is the lead in Slings & Arrows, so I claim relevance. Slings & Arrows follows a Shakesperean theatre company in fictional New Burbage as they mount productions of various plays, providing enough backstage drama, comedy and tragedy to keep a playwright in material for years.

Season 1 begins with the debut of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the newly commercialized New Burbage Theatre Festival, juxtaposed with the collapse of an independent theatre house run by Geoffrey Tennant (Paul Gross). Geoffrey was once New Burbage’s shining star, a brilliant actor whose Hamlet is the stuff of legend. Unfortunately, he suffered a mental breakdown during a performance of Hamlet seven years ago and has been on the fringe ever since. His indie endeavor is bankrupt and it appears he’s headed for rock bottom again when Oliver Welles (Stephen Ouimette), New Burbage’s artistic director and Tennant’s former mentor, dies suddenly.

With artistic leadership of the festival up for grabs, the backstage theatrics pale in comparison to what’s happening in the boardroom. Geoffrey’s eventual return to New Burbage as artistic director causes reprecussions for everyone from business director Richard Smith-Jones (Mark McKinney pulling double duty as writer & actor) and his Type A girlfriend, Texan Holly Day (Still Standing’s Jennifer Irwin) to lead actress Ellen Fanshaw (Martha Burns) and too-hip-for-his-own-good director Darren Nichols (Don McKellar).

The first season of Slings & Arrows, which lasts a far too short 6 episodes, focuses on the transition at the festival and Geoffrey’s trials & tribulations of mounting a production of Hamlet. In addition to everything else going on, Geoffrey has inherited a movie star Hamlet who no one thinks has the acting chops for the role; a Gertrude with little respect for her fellow thespians; and an Ophelia whose acting is so terrible it can only be assumed that she’s related to someone on the board of directors. Will he maintain a hold on his sanity long enough to pull off his first production?

Paul Gross won the Gemini (Canada’s Emmy equivalent) three times for his nuanced portrayal of Geoffrey, deftly walking the line between brilliance and insanity. Martha Burns won twice for her acerbic yet vulnerable portrayal of leading lady Ellen; talented and married to Paul Gross (since 1988)? Trying not to be jealous…  Slings & Arrows also features a glowing, Gemini-winning performance by a pre-Notebook Rachel McAdams as the new ingenue at the festival whose talent and nice girl ways win her both friends and enemies. Slings & Arrows is smart, witty, engaging, and poignant with sparkling dialogue and intricate characterizations. I watched season 1 in less than 24 hours, and am now jonesing for seasons 2 and 3. I blame Canada.

Win a Copy of Slings & Arrows

Want to watch the show yourself? We’ve partnered with Acorn Media to give away three (3) copies of Slings & Arrowsseason 1 on DVD to three (3) lucky winners. Here’s how to enter:
