Stanley Kubrick’s comedy masterpiece.
When a rogue U.S General triggers a nuclear attack, a surreal race takes place, seeing the Government and one eccentric scientist scramble to avert global destruction.
This explosively funny satire is led by a world-renowned creative team led including Emmy Award-winner Armando Iannucci (The Thick of It, Veep) and Olivier Award-winner Sean Foley (The Upstart Crow).
Filmed live from the Noël Coward Theatre in London and projected on to our screen at the Abbey Theatre.
