Actors Michael Sheen and David Tennant, known from the miniseries Good Omens, decide to continue rehearsing the play via webcam with a certain amount of self-denial.

The British director, originally primarily a theatre director, first drew attention with the series Staged, which he conceived, wrote, and produced during the coronavirus pandemic. His project, in which he played the director alongside two famous actors, has received numerous comedy awards. After two seasons of the British version, Evans began working on an American remake.
