One of my all time favourite films. Can anyone come close to Peter Sellers? Can he work out a staging that makes it possible for one actor to take on three roles, as Sellers did? Who can take on the George C. Scott and Sterling Hayden roles?

We rarely go to the theatre but might stir ourselves to give this a go!

Bit late spotting this, @Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g but I might be stirred too. I've not seen the film and think I won't try to, so I'll come to the play fresh. I've booked to go to Iannucci's Pandemonium in December and have high hopes for an entertaining night out.

Yes. This will be amazing. I love (almost) everything Armando does, and I’m a fan of the film.
