Actor Steve Coogan had to pull out of Dr Strangelove at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre last night with laryngitis. It is not known yet if he will be back for Friday night’s performance.
Coogan plays four parts in the production which is based on the original 1964 Stanley Kubrick classic film of the same name.
Ticket holders received a text message on Thursday evening to inform them that the actor “is recovering from laryngitis and will not perform 13 Feb 2025 19.30 @BGET”.
The show runs until February 22nd. It is brought to the stage by film-maker Armando Iannucci and Olivier Award-winner Sean Foley.
