“Dr. Strangelove has a blast in this thermonuclear madness. Impressive staging is peppered with sensationally unhinged performances and it’s a tour de (armed) force for Steve Coogan.” Daily Mail ★★★★
Seven-time BAFTA Award winner Steve Coogan starred in this acclaimed stage adaptation of Stanley Kubrick’s comedy masterpiece Dr. Strangelove. With a world-renowned creative team led by BAFTA and Emmy Award winner Armando Iannucci and Olivier Award winner Sean Foley, this explosively funny satire of mutually assured destruction left a whole new generation of audiences laughing, and afraid!
Patrick Myles and David Luff commissioned, developed and lead produced the world premiere stage adaptation of Dr. Strangelove at the Noël Coward Theatre in October 2024 and the Bord Gais Energy Theatre in February 2025. It received overwhelming commerical success, becoming the highest-selling play in the history of the Noël Coward Theatre.
