Take a peek behind the scenes of the production…

With a world-renowned creative team led by BAFTA and Emmy Award winner Armando Iannucci and Olivier Award winner Sean Foley, this explosively funny satire of mutually assured destruction will leave a whole new generation of audiences laughing and afraid.

Sean Foley:

‘I couldn’t be more thrilled than to be working with such a talented and exciting cast on our version of Stanley Kubrick’s extraordinary ‘nightmare comedy’. I know from their amazing collective experience that every character and every situation will not only be seriously dark and terrifying, but also seriously funny.’
