I’m Alan Partridge star Steve Coogan takes on four roles in the National Theatre Live screening of Dr. Strangelove at Theatre Royal Winchester on Wednesday 23 April.
Dr. Strangelove tells of the moment a rogue US General triggers a nuclear attack and the surreal race that takes place, seeing the Government and one eccentric scientist scramble to avert global destruction – with seven-time BAFTA Award winner Coogan playing four roles – Dr. Strangelove, Captain Mandrake, President Muffley and Major T J Kong.
An explosively funny satire, this adaptation of Stanley Kubrick’s comedy masterpiece was led by a world-renowned creative team including Emmy Award-winner Armando Iannucci (The Thick of It) and Olivier Award-winner Sean Foley (The Upstart Crow); and stars seven-time BAFTA Award-winner, Steve Coogan (The Trip, Philomena) – who has been described as ‘stellar’ by The Independent and ‘displays boundless energy and impeccable comic timing’ by The Stage – and Giles Terera (NT Live: Othello, Hamilton).
This world premiere adaptation was filmed live from the Noel Coward Theatre in London.
Dr. Strangelove has a 12A certification.
