“Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” is a 1964 Stanley Kubrick film that became a classic of anti-war satire during the Cold War. The film follows the chaotic events triggered by a delusional American general who orders a nuclear attack on the USSR. A surreal race ensues, with the government and an eccentric scientist, Dr. Strangelove—a weapons expert and barely reformed Nazi—scrambling to prevent global destruction. With brilliant performances, especially by Peter Sellers in three roles, Kubrick masterfully blends absurd humor with dark political critique.

This principle is preserved in the modern stage adaptation of the film, directed by Olivier Award-winner Sean Foley. Seven-time BAFTA winner Steve Coogan takes on four roles, including Dr. Strangelove. The production is led by a world-renowned creative team, including Emmy Award-winner Armando Iannucci, who co-authored the adaptation.
