Teaser for "Dr. Strangelove"; A National Theatre Live Screening 4/6/25 and 4/16/25

 

Seven-time BAFTA award-winner Steve Coogan (Alan Partridge, The Other Guys) stars in this explosively funny adaptation of Stanley Kubrick's Cold War-era masterpiece, taking on four roles—one more than the immortal Peter Sellers did in the film. This blackest of black comedies depicts what happens when an unhinged US General orders a nuclear strike on Russia, precipitating a retaliation that would annihilate all life on the planet.

Emmy award-winner Armando Iannucci (Veep, In the Loop) is a comic genius, and his adaptation features "impressive staging peppered with sensationally unhinged performances" (Daily Mail). Audiences can expect to hear some of their favorite lines and delight in familiar setpieces, but this delightfully absurd production adds some modern touches that bring the dark political humor into the present.

Runtime: 2h30m
