Coogan takes on four iconic roles in the critically acclaimed play, which has been described as "an explosively funny new theatrical reimagining" of the story of a rogue US General who triggers a nuclear attack. The production is led by a creative team including Emmy Award-winner Armando Iannucci and Olivier Award-winner Sean Foley.

The cinema screenings are being organised by National Theatre Live. Audiences can find their nearest screening at drstrangelove.ntlive.com
