'The surprise comedy hit of the summer' Observer
'Glorious' Daily Telegraph
'A masterpiece' Metro
Starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen, along with A-list guests, the award-winning and critically acclaimed British television comedy series Staged was an instant hit. Launched during the global coronavirus pandemic, the show follows the two thespians playing fictionalised versions of themselves as they try to rehearse a play during lockdown... over Zoom.
Completely Staged presents the complete text of the BBC screenplays from Staged’s writer and director Simon Evans and co-creator Phin Glynn, illustrated throughout in full colour with stills from the show, original drawings, sheet music for the theme tune, Georgia Tennant's carrot cake recipe, tips on how to draw a pineapple and much more.
This treasure trove is a must-have for every fan of Staged, a show which perfectly combines comedy and poignancy to encapsulate the collective feelings of a reluctantly virtual world.
So cool! Only one question: Is there a deadline for this campaign?
No. We'll run the pre-order camping through to September. But the deadline for getting your name listed in the back as a subscriber will fall in mid-March. Glad you like it!
On the DVD reward, what region is the DVD in? Will I be able to use it in the US?
Alas, not at present - it's Region 2 only at present. The producers tell us that the US version 1 will available in September. The second series is due for broadcast on Hulu in March (it's great!)
Which cast members will be signing the book? Thanks
Hi Karl - the cast members are only signing the slipcase edition- we assume that will include all or most of the main cast (but not the cameo guests). I'm sorry not to eb more precise but getting 100% confirmation when they are currently in different continents is a challenge. The show's creators - Simon Evans (writer/director); Phin Glynn (co-creator) will definitely be signing copies.
Any idea when the Zoom Launch will take place if we pledged at that level and when/how we’ll be contacted about it?
The launch will take place in late September/ early October, depending on the complicated diaries of everyone involved. You will be given at least 1 months notice by email (and we hope rather more than that).
Regarding the deluxe slipcase edition which states, signed by members of the cast, will this definitely include Messrs Tennant and Sheen?
Hi John - we understand from the production company that we can't give 100% guarantees about David and Michael's signatures. Both are busy and currently are on different continents. However, there is no reason for them not to - the book is the official product of the show's production company - and they both executive producers.
Hi! In the Q&A is written that the pre-ordering campaign runs until mid-September. However, all pledges/books (except the e-book) are sold out already (April 1st). Is there still a possibility to purchase a copy? I don't mind that my name will not be in the back of the book. Thank you!
Hi Csilla, Thanks for getting in touch about this, we have made a few of the levels available again to pre-order. ahead of publication Best wishes, Caitlin
If we've made a previous pledge and want to add in to it, can we combine the shipping? I'm overseas and it's very expensive but I'd like to get another book.
Hi Crystal, We've made a few more of the 'read with a rival' reward available which you can upgrade to through your account. More information how to do this here: http://help.unbound.com/en/articles/3159595-how-do-i-upgrade-my-level-of-support. I hope this helps!
Hi! I never received my items. I pledge for the DVD level reward and I only received an email with a link for the ebook.
Hi Bettina, We're really sorry you have yet to receive your book and DVD. Our attempt at dispatch was unsuccessful as orders to Argentina are currently affected by delivery suspensions due to Covid-19. We hope to be able to send your copy soon!
I don't know what's going on here but, Royal Mail always delivered mail here during the pandemic. USPS, Royal Mail, UPS, DHL, FeDex, China Post, , etc, etc, etc... I received about 13 shipments from abroad since the pandemic started. The worst thing here is that you guys NEVER sent me an email letting me know about the situation. I don't like this. Send the items or refund the money.
Hi Bettina, Please could you get in touch with support@unbound.com so that we can look into this further for you. We sent an email in October but this may have landed in your junk mail unfortunately.
Hi Unbounders, season's greetings to you all. Further to the email from a little while ago, where are we please with regard to the refund for the £250 "cast-signed Deluxe Slipcase Edition" which didn't happen (slipcase notwithstanding) and turned out to be pretty much equivalent to either the £25 first edition or possibly the £35 signed first edition for some people, although my copy doesn't appear to have any signatures from anyone, not even Simon or Phin. Any and all news will be gratefully received! Ta very much, and a happy New Year to you all!
Hi Stephen, please email support@unbound.com and we will be able to help!
Hi once again Unbounders. After my last message here (above), your reply asked me to contact the support email. I've done so five times since then and not had a response. Is there any other way I can get in touch with you please? It's all rather disappointing to date, but I'm sure it's a hiccup. Cheers and take care.
Hi Stephen, Very sorry to hear that you did not receive a response. One of our Customer Service helpers has just reached out to you directly on email so we can get this resolved.
