Steve Coogan will lead the world premiere of stage production of Kubrick's timeless classic DR. STRANGELOVE which opens in the West End in Autumn 2024.
The play will begin performances on Tuesday 8 October 2024 at the Noël Coward Theatre for a strictly limited season through until Saturday 21 December 2024.
Known for his work across TV and film, Coogan has won seven BAFTA Awards and seven British Comedy Awards. Some of his recognisable work includes Philomena, Night at the Museum, and Tropic Thunder.
DR. STRANGELOVE is a jet-black comedy masterpiece about a rogue U.S. General who triggers a nuclear crisis. It has been brought to the stage by acclaimed, BAFTA and Emmy Award winner Armando Iannucci and Olivier Award winner Sean Foley in an explosively funny satire of mutually assured destruction. Sean Foley will also direct the production.
