StageD will talk about the actors who are trying to continue their rehearsals even in self-insulation mode, but their efforts are often flowing into the absurdity and turn into all sorts of comical situations. The audience is waiting for the mini-series of six 15-minute episodes. In addition to Tennant and Tire, Georgia Tennant will play in the film (David's wife), Lucy Yaton, Anna Lundberg, as well as a number of other invited artists.
The authors of Staged will be Simon Evans and Fin Hlinn, while Evans will perform screenwriter and film director. It is curious that Tennant and Tires will also take on the functions of executive producers. The premiere of StageD will take place next month on the BBC One channel.
