Review: Staged, BBC iPlayer
It is an absolute joy, mainly because of the chemistry between the two leads, who not only get on with each other, but are so willing to send themselves up and revel in self-deprecation.
Paul T Davies, BritishTheatre.com, 18th June 2020Another Zoom meeting with David Tennant and Michael Sheen playing locked-down versions of themselves in a time of Covid-19. As we rejoin them, the producer Simon Evans must step in to try to patch things up between the pair. Meanwhile, David is nervous about Georgia helping out a friend in labour.
