National Theatre Live presents Dr. Strangelove, starring seven-time BAFTA winner Steve Coogan in four separate roles. Adapted for the stage from Stanley Kubrick’s satire of Cold War paranoia and politics, the plot revolves around a rogue U.S. general who sets a doomsday scenario in motion. This production takes the story from the screen to the stage and back again, offering audiences around the world a peek into the experience of Britain’s best theater through filmed performances.
