National Theatre Live

Dr. Strangelove

When a rogue U.S General triggers a nuclear attack, a surreal race takes place, seeing the Government and one eccentric scientist scramble to avert global destruction.

Seven-time BAFTA Award-winner Steve Coogan (Alan Partridge, The Trip, Philomena) plays four roles in the world premiere stage adaptation of Stanley Kubrick’s comedy masterpiece Dr. Strangelove,  filmed live from the Noël Coward Theatre.

This explosively funny satire is led by a world-renowned creative team including Emmy Award-winner Armando Iannucci (The Thick of It, Veep, The Death of Stalin) and Olivier Award-winner Sean Foley (The Upstart Crow, The Play What I Wrote, Mindhorn).

A production from Patrick Myles and David Luff. Based on the motion picture directed by Stanley Kubrick, screenplay by Stanley Kubrick, Terry Southern and Peter George, based on the book ‘Red Alert‘ by Peter George.
