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.
Patrick Marmion, Daily Mail, 1st November 2024Armando Iannucci: "Scandals at the BBC happen because of the command structure"
As their new series explores Hollywood's "existential crisis", the writer-director, and showrunner Jon Brown, discuss the influence of tech billionaires and why modern politics is beyond satire.
Rachael Sigee, i Newspaper, 1st November 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
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 2024Dr 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 2024Dr Strangelove review
Is putting Kubrick's iconic satire on stage an act of MADness?
Miranda Collinge, Esquire, 30th 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.
