Press
A double bill of lockdown larks with David Tennant, Simon Evans and Michael Sheen. Tonight, a new cast member, Adrian Lester, is dragged in by Simon to make him look good. Meanwhile, David finishes a draft of his screenplay and Michael worries about his neighbour when an ambulance turns up.
Ali Catterall, The Guardian, 24th June 2020The charming silliness of lockdown comedy Staged
At points it can seem a bit, well, staged (a few meandering scenes aside, it mostly feels scripted, not improvised). But it is nevertheless charming: absurdly silly in a quiet, understated way.
