Staged

CriticsCritics: 76
AudienceAudience: 8.4

When a planned West End production is halted by the pandemic, its determined director tries to keep the project alive remotely. Two actors playing themselves attempt to rehearse from home, while lockdown frustrations, creative ambitions, and an uneasy working relationship turn the process into an unpredictable comedy.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like witty, self-aware comedies built around actor chemistry and lockdown absurdity, especially shows such as The Trip; Not for you if you dislike celebrity-focused humor or slower setups.
