Steve Coogan will star in Stanley Kubrick’s Dr Strangelove at the Noël Coward Theatre in London’s West End. Book Dr Strangelove tickets on London Theatre today.
Based on the 1964 Cold War political satire film, Dr Strangelove centres on a deranged U.S. Air Force general, General Jack D. Ripper, who becomes convinced that the Soviet Union is planning to poison Americans. In his delusional state, he orders a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union without the approval of the U.S. government. As chaos ensues, it becomes a frantic race against time to prevent the impending nuclear doomsday.
Stanley Kubrick directed, co-wrote, and produced the Dr. Strangelove film. Widely acclaimed as one of the greatest films ever made, it earned four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor for Peter Sellers, who portrayed three roles, including the title character.
Similar to Seller’s, Coogan will step into the shoes of multiple characters in the stage adaptation. BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning Armando Iannucci will co-adapt the production with Sean Foley, who will direct.
Coogan is renowned for portraying the bumbling and self-absorbed radio and television presenter Alan Partridge. He also wrote and starred in the critically acclaimed film Philomena alongside Dame Judi Dench, which earned him a BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2013.
