Staged
Created by Simon Evans
A meta, affectionate comedy about two actors and their director attempting to stage a play via Zoom during lockdown, built on warmth, self-aware humour, and genuine friendship.
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.
