Seven-time BAFTA Award-winner Steve Coogan plays four roles in the world premiere stage adaptation of Stanley Kubrick’s comedy masterpiece “Dr. Strangelove.” Guild Hall will screen National Theatre Live’s production on Saturday, March 29, at 7 p.m. 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. The run time of the show is two hours 30 minutes, with one intermission.

Guild Hall will also screen National Theatre Live’s production of “Vanya,” adapted by Simon Stephens (after Anton Chekhov) directed by Sam Yates and designed by Rosanna Vize, on Saturday, April 19, at 7 p.m. Andrew Scott (“Fleabag”) brings multiple characters to life in Stephens’s radical new version of Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya.” Hopes, dreams, and regrets are thrust into sharp focus in this one-man adaptation which explores the complexities of human emotions.

Filmed live during its sold-out run in London’s West End, “Vanya” began playing exclusively in cinemas in 2024. The show’s run time is three hours with one intermission.

Guild Hall concessions, including wine, beer and cocktails, will be available for purchase before and during all National Theatre Live programs at Louise & Howie’s Coffee Bar in the lobby. Refreshments are permitted in the theater.

The ticket price for each screening is $20 ($18 members) at guildhall.org. Guild Hall is at 158 Main Street in East Hampton.
