As the first ever adaptation of Stanley Kubrick’s comedy masterpiece Dr. Strangelove, starring seven-time BAFTA award winner Steve Coogan as Dr Strangelove, President Merkin Muffley, Group Captain Lionel Mandrake and Major TJ Kong heads towards its first performance on 8 October 2024 at the Noël Coward Theatre, brand new rehearsal photographs by Manuel Harlan have just been released.

Giles Terera plays General Buck Turgisdon, with  John Hopkins as General Jack D. Ripper, Oliver Alvin-Wilson as Jefferson, Penny Ashmore as Vera Lynn, Ben Deery  as General Staines, Richard Dempsey as Frank, Mabli Gwynne as Swing, Mark Hadfield  as Faceman, Tony Jayawardena as Russian Ambassador Bakov, Tom Kelsey (Ensemble), Daniel Norford (Ensemble), Dharmesh Patel as Lincoln, Adam Sina (Ensemble),  Alex Stoll (Ensemble) and Ben Turner as Colonel Bat Guano.

Performances at the Noël Coward Theatre in London’s West End begin on Tuesday 8 October 2024 and finish on Saturday 25 January 2025 before a limited engagement at Dublin’s Bord Gáis Energy Theatre from Wednesday 5 – Saturday 22 February 2025.

       

Over 20% of tickets at the Noël Coward Theatre are priced at £35 and under, with over 1000 £25 Stalls tickets available to under 30s and additional stalls tickets available to select charities across the run.   The Under 30s tickets will be released at 11am on 6 September 2024.

With a world-renowned creative team led by BAFTA and Emmy Award winner Armando Iannucci and Olivier Award winner Sean Foley, this explosively funny satire of mutually assured destruction will leave a whole new generation of audiences laughing and afraid.

Review: The Comedy About Spies at Noël Coward Theatre

Sean Foley said:  ‘I couldn’t be more thrilled than to be working with such a talented and exciting cast on our version of Stanley Kubrick’s extraordinary ’nightmare comedy’. I know from their amazing collective experience that every character and every situation will not only be seriously dark and terrifying, but also seriously funny.’

Dr. Strangelove is produced by Patrick Myles and David Luff, Tulchin Bartner Productions, Playful Productions, Barbara Broccoli, Jean Doumanian, Alexander “Sandy” Marshall, Playing Field, Mark Puddle, Trafalgar Theatre Productions and in association with Wild Yak. Jonathan Cameron is the Executive Producer for the Stanley Kubrick Estate.
