fuckyeahgoodomens: invisibleicewands: ‘Michael Sheen: I can be a nightmare’ While Staged sometimes looks like two famous blokes just teasing each other - and we’ll get to any resemblance to The Trip in a moment - it’s all, suitably enough, more staged than that. The conceit is that Sheen and Tennant were about to start rehearsals for a West End play when lockdown started. So their director, Simon Evans - who writes, directs and appears as himself here - suggests that they continue rehearsals on Zoom. We see him talking to his cast, trying to use the personable Tennant to persuade the imposing Sheen that working on Zoom is a good idea. Which, it turns out, is roughly how Staged really began. Evans and his co-creator, Phin Glynn, suggested the series to Tennant, whom Glynn had worked with before. They hoped that Tennant would suggest Sheen as the other half of the double act. After all, they had just formed a wildly successful partnership in Neil Gaiman’s fantasy comedy Good Omens. And that, happily, is exactly what happened. -- source link
