Dr Strangelove review
Of course, satire should always be serious, but go in a better frame of mood to really enjoy it.
Howard Loxton, British Theatre Guide, 7th November 2024Steve Coogan's West End gamble - can he rival Peter Sellers?
Taking on Captain Mandrake and co in Dr Strangelove was always going to be a risk. There's no doubting the energy. Yet the uneven new lines and old favourites alike play too much in the same heightened register.
Dominic Maxwell, The Sunday Times, 3rd November 2024Dr 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.

British Comedy Guide, 31st October 2024Dr 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 2024Dr Strangelove review
Coogan is bang on the button.
John Nathan, The Jewish Chronicle, 31st October 2024Dr Strangelove review
Steve Coogan is terrific.
Sarah Hemming, The Financial Times, 30th October 2024Dr Strangelove review
Steve Coogan excels in four roles in Armando Iannucci's adaptation of the classic movie.
Gary Naylor, Broadway World, 30th October 2024Dr 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 2024Dr Strangelove review
A solid five-star show in my opinion, though some politically charged jokes might fly over the heads of less politically minded viewers.
