You can stream Staged (2020) on Apple TV+ with a subscription.

David Tennant and Michael Sheen (playing themselves) were due to star in a production of 'Six Characters in Search of an Author' in the West End. The pandemic has put an end to that, but their director (Simon Evans) is determined not to let the opportunity pass them by.

The absurdity of a pandemic-era production comes alive through the frantic, improvised energy of two actors playing heightened versions of themselves. This mockumentary blurs the line between theatrical rehearsal and genuine chaos as the stage transforms into a makeshift living room.
