National Theatre Live: Dr. Strangelove

Characters occasionally punch and shove one another in choreographed fight scenes. Soldiers shoot at one another and a man recalls being tortured during his time as a prisoner of war.

Throughout the play is the underlying and intensifying threat of nuclear war, presented with satirical humour. There are also scenes of gun threat and sequences in which a plane is at risk of crashing, causing panic among its crew. A man fears he has been targeted for assassination.

There is infrequent strong language ('f**k') along with milder terms such as 'son of a bitch', 'dick', 'shit', 'ass', 'bollocks', 'bastard', 'bloody', 'God', 'damn' and 'hell'.

Comedic references are made to 'bodily fluids'; sometimes these occur in an undetailed sexual context. Characters discuss breeding programmes to ensure the future of humanity.

A mentally ill man is described using terms such as 'loony'. A man makes sexist remarks in a comedic scene.

Brief, undetailed verbal references are made to amphetamines.

It is implied a man takes his own life off-screen. The actor playing him is later seen with a small amount of blood on his face.

Oblique, undetailed references are made to the Holocaust.

Characters smoke cigars and drink alcohol.
