Steve Coogan stars in the world premiere of the stage adaptation of Stanley Kubrick's black comedy.
At the height of the Cold War, insane U.S. Air Force General Jack D. Ripper orders a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union. The President of the United States, together with his advisors, desperately attempts to avert global nuclear disaster. The eccentric Dr. Strangelove, a former Nazi scientist, adds a surreal and humorous dimension to the unfolding crisis...
'Dr. Strangelove' explores the absurdity of mutually assured destruction, the dangers of unchecked military power, and the perils of geopolitical brinkmanship.
BAFTA and Emmy Award winner Armando Iannucci ('Veep') and Olivier Award winner Sean Foley ('The Play What I Wrote') bring Stanley Kubrick's Academy Award-nominated movie to the stage.
BAFTA winner Steve Coogan (best known for his comedy persona Alan Partridge) will take on the roles of Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, President Merkin Muffley, and Dr. Strangelove in this world premiere.
