Steve Coogan plays four roles in Stanley Kubrick’s “Dr. Strangelove.”

The 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center will present a new staging of Stanley Kubrick’s “Dr. Strangelove,” captured live via satellite from London’s Noel Coward Theatre, on Saturday, Oct. 4, at 1 p.m. The production is part of Arts in the Afternoon at the Opera House.

Seven-time BAFTA Award-winner Steve Coogan plays four roles in the world premiere stage adaptation of Kubrick’s comedy masterpiece.

This explosively funny satire, about a rogue U.S General who triggers a nuclear attack, is led by a world-renowned creative team including Emmy Award-winner Armando Iannucci and Olivier Award-winner Sean Foley.

Broadway World calls the production “a masterful recreation of sublime comic acting.” London’s Guardian calls it “a fun, adventurous adaptation.” WhatsOnStage calls it “enthusiastic and sharp.” The production runs two hours, 30 minutes with one intermission.

Individual tickets are $15, ($10 students). Tickets may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716-679-1891, Tuesday-Friday, 12-4:30 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online anytime at www.fredopera.org. Arts in the Afternoon at the Opera House is sponsored by Dr. James M. & Marcia Merrins.
