Seven-time BAFTA winner Steve Coogan will lead a stage adaption of Stanley Kubrick鈥檚 Dr. Strangelove in the West End in 2024.
The world premiere will play the No毛l Coward Theatre beginning October 8, 2024, for a limited run through December 21. The production will see Coogan playing multiple roles throughout the nuclear crisis comedy. Directed by Sean Foley and co-adapted by Foley and Armando Iannucci, the satire is one of Kubrick's most beloved films.
Said Coogan, 鈥淭he idea of putting Dr Strangelove on stage is daunting. A huge responsibility. It鈥檚 also an exciting challenge, an opportunity to bring this timeless classic to a new audience. Knowing that I will be part of a creative team led by Sean Foley and Armando Iannucci means I will be working with the best people. Sean is a master of stage comedy and Armando and I started working with each other over 30 years ago. We made some memorable comedy together so it鈥檚 great to be collaborating with him once again.鈥�
Information on additional cast and creative team members will be announced at a later date.
