STEVE COOGAN AS DR. STRANGELOVE!
The world’s first stage adaptation of Stanley Kubrick’s timeless classic will make its Irish debut in Dublin from 02 -22 February 2025.
Seven-time BAFTA Award winner Steve Coogan will lead the first ever adaptation of the legendary film-maker’s work and will play multiple roles including President Merkin Muffley, Group Captain Lionel Mandrake and Major TJ Kong alongside Giles Terera as General Buck Turgisdon.
This jet-black comedy masterpiece, about a rogue U.S. General who triggers a nuclear crisis, is brought to the stage by acclaimed, BAFTA and Emmy Award winner Armando Iannucci and Olivier Award winner Sean Foley in an explosively funny satire of mutually assured destruction. Sean Foley will also direct.
Steve Coogan said: “The idea of putting Dr. Strangelove on stage is daunting. A huge responsibility. It’s 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’s great to be collaborating with him once again. And we are thrilled to have the opportunity to take our version of this unique story to Dublin – where it will have its Irish Premiere at Dublin’s beautiful Bord Gáis Energy Theatre.”
