Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 political satire film “Dr. Strangelove' is being adapted as a stage production for London’s West End by “Veep” creator Armando Iannucci.
In the film, where Peter Sellers plays several roles, an insane American general orders a bombing attack on the Soviet Union, triggering a path to nuclear holocaust that a war room full of politicians and generals frantically tries to stop. It was released in the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
A West End theater venue for the “Dr. Strangelove” adaptation has not been revealed yet. The adaptation is with the permission of Kubrick’s estate, the first time the family has allowed one of the iconic filmmaker’s works to be adapted.
