Dr Strangelove review

Maybe we should call him Steve Sellers, or perhaps Peter Coogan... Either way, comedian Steve Coogan makes a fine fist of channelling the maniacal ghost of the late Peter Sellers in one of his best-known films: Stanley Kubrick's satire of nuclear Armageddon, Dr. Strangelove.

Dr Strangelove review

It is really Coogan who makes Dr Strangelove a classic production, mixing hard-hitting satire with knockabout humour

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 31st October 2024

Dr Strangelove review

Coogan is bang on the button.

John Nathan, The Jewish Chronicle, 31st October 2024

Dr Strangelove review

Steve Coogan triumphs in Kubrick's Cold War satire.

Neil Norman, The Daily Express, 30th October 2024

Dr Strangelove review

Part broad farce, part skewering satire, a little bit of 'Allo 'Allo, some Airplane, some Partridge.

Giles Broadbent, The Spy In The Stalls, 30th October 2024

Dr Strangelove review

OK, so it's not the biting The Thick Of It-styled political satire we wanted but as far as light entertainment goes, it's pretty good.

Jim Keaveney, The Arts Dispatch, 30th October 2024

Dr Strangelove review

Is putting Kubrick's iconic satire on stage an act of MADness?

Miranda Collinge, Esquire, 30th October 2024

Dr Strangelove review

Steve Coogan is terrific.

Sarah Hemming, The Financial Times, 30th October 2024

Dr Strangelove review

Steve Coogan excels in four roles in Armando Iannucci's adaptation of the classic movie.

Gary Naylor, Broadway World, 30th October 2024

Dr Strangelove review

The play is not one for the whole family but does highlight that it is sometimes better to embrace a tragic situation through laughter rather than horror.

Ramsey Baghdadi, London Theatre Reviews, 30th October 2024
