4th April NT Live Dr Strangelove
he National Theatre Live production of Dr. Strangelove is a stage adaptation of Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 satirical film. The narrative centers on U.S. General Jack D. Ripper, who unilaterally initiates a nuclear strike against the Soviet Union, believing in a communist conspiracy to contaminate America’s “precious bodily fluids.” As the bombers approach their targets, President Merkin Muffley, his advisors, and the eccentric ex-Nazi scientist Dr. Strangelove scramble in the War Room to avert global catastrophe. The production features Steve Coogan portraying multiple roles, including Mandrake, President Muffley, and Dr. Strangelove, echoing Peter Sellers’ iconic performances in the original film. Co-adapted by Armando Iannucci and Sean Foley, who also directs, the play retains the film’s dark humor while introducing contemporary nuances. The adaptation has been praised for its impressive staging and Coogan’s dynamic portrayal of the characters.
Friday 25th April Maria
Directed by Pablo Larraín | Starring Angelina Jolie
From acclaimed director Pablo Larraín (Spencer, Jackie) comes Maria, a luminous and intimate portrait of opera legend Maria Callas. Starring Angelina Jolie in a transformative performance, the film traces Callas’s final days in 1970s Paris, reflecting on a life filled with passion, artistry, love, and loss. Combining imagined moments with excerpts from her own letters and recordings, Maria is both a tribute to the enduring power of her voice and a poignant exploration of fame and solitude. Visually stunning and emotionally resonant, Maria offers a haunting glimpse into the soul of one of the 20th century’s greatest icons.
