Cinema audiences and theatre lovers alike will be treated to innovative productions from some of Britain’s most exciting playwrights, directors, actors, and stages, on the big screen as part of the NT (National Theatre) Live series.
Dr. Strangelove
Based on Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 Cold War comedy, Dr. Strangelove, Steve Coogan (Alan Partridge, The Trip) leads this fun new stage adaptation from Armando Iannucci (The Thick of It) and Sean Foley (The Upstart Crow) as he takes on Peter Seller’s iconic roles.
Seen as one of the top comedy films of all time, Dr. Strangelove celebrates Kubrick’s legacy and the relevance of the story 60 years on. The cast also features National Theatre Live alumni Giles Terera (Othello, Hamilton) and Tony Jayawardena (Nye).
Seven-time BAFTA Award-winner Steve Coogan plays four roles in the world premiere stage adaptation of Stanley Kubrick’s comedy masterpiece Dr. Strangelove. When a rogue U.S General triggers a nuclear attack, a surreal race takes place, seeing the Government and one eccentric scientist scramble to avert global destruction.
This explosively funny satire is led by a world-renowned creative team including Emmy Award-winner Armando Iannucci (The Thick of It, Veep) and Olivier Award-winner Sean Foley (The Upstart Crow). A production from Patrick Myles and David Luff, it is based on the motion picture directed by Stanley Kubrick, which was based on the book ‘Red Alert’ by Peter George.
Dr. Strangelove is scheduled to show on 20, 21 and 23 September. Each of these NT Live productions will be shown at Ster-Kinekor Rosebank Nouveau and an additional site, Cresta in Johannesburg, at Ster-Kinekor Brooklyn in Pretoria, and at Ster-Kinekor V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, for three screenings only.
