Staged

2020–2022 · 3 seasons

A witty, self-aware lockdown comedy that turns video-call awkwardness into a sharp, affectionate meta-joke about actors and ego.

Overview: David Tennant and Michael Sheen (playing themselves) were due to star in a production of 'Six Characters in Search of an Author' in the West End. The pandemic has put an end to that, but their director (Simon Evans) is determined not to let the opportunity pass them by.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, warm and cynical. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Identity, art, friendship, work
Content: Strong language. Mild sexual content. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
