**What is DR. STRANGELOVE about?**

DR. STRANGELOVE was one of the fiercest satires of human folly that ever came out of Hollywood, released in 1964. The landmark Cold War farce centres on a rogue U.S. General who triggers a nuclear crisis at the height of Cold War tensions and a group of political officials are desperately trying to avoid Armageddon.

Stanley Kubrick was a successful comedy although it was originally intended this film to be a straight adaptation of Red Alert, a novel by Peter George.

Further information on the theatre and cast will be announced soon.
