Theatre review Coogan scores a quadruple coup in classic reboot
The Guardian
|October 30, 2024
Stanley Kubrick's 1964 satire about cold war brinkmanship tipping into nuclear conflict seemed to be a vehicle for Peter Sellers to showboat in three central roles.
Dr Strangelove Noël Coward theatre, London
★★★★☆
It might have ended up like Carry On... to Armageddon, but the combined genius of Kubrick and Sellers rocketed it into the film canon. It takes a confident (foolish?) team to tamper with a work quite so revered, and so suited to the screen. How, for instance, do you turn the legendary scene of a pilot riding a careering nuclear warhead into credible theatre? This production achieves the dubious feat of turning an edgy, absurdist story into broad entertainment with accessible laughs, along with a few topical references and excellent performances all round.
