"Sir Lenny Henry says he needs to wash off his latest stage role - a
Chicago mobster modelled both on Hitler and Donald Trump - after each
performance.
"You have to have a shower and get rid of it because he's quite a nasty
piece of work," he said of the title role in The Resistible Rise of
Arturo Ui.
Originally based on Hitler, the Bertolt Brecht play has been reworked by
Bruce Norris to include references to Trump.
"I don't think you could have avoided the connections," Norris told the BBC.
"In a play about totalitarianism you have to nod in that direction."
