Orcas Center brings the iconic film “Dr. Strangelove” or “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” to the big screen on April 3 at 6 p.m, reimagined with a stellar cast led by seven-time BAFTA Award-winner Steve Coogan. This groundbreaking new adaptation comes courtesy of National Theatre Live, providing an unparalleled cinematic and theatrical experience recorded live from London.
Led by a world-renowned creative team including Emmy Award-winner Armando Iannucci and Olivier Award-winner Sean Foley, this bold reimagining of Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 masterpiece will bring the darkly comedic Cold War satire to life in a fresh and thrilling format. Coogan, best known for his work in “Alan Partridge” and “Philomena,” will step into the shoes of the unforgettable Dr. Strangelove, the madcap nuclear expert whose wild antics play a pivotal role in the film’s satirical critique of military and political systems.
“Dr. Strangelove” remains one of the most influential films in cinematic history. Its biting humor, absurdity and prescient commentary on nuclear weapons and global politics continue to resonate with modern audiences. Coogan’s unique comedic timing and dramatic range promise to bring new energy to the role, making this NT Live production a must-see event.
Ticket prices range from $10-$63 with an additional $2 ticketing fee. Tickets are available online at www.OrcasCenter.org, by phone at 360-376-2281 ext. 100 or in person at the box office an hour prior to the performance.
