Cast set for UK premiere of Donald Trump play, penned by The Lehman Trilogy writer

Casting has just been announced for the UK premiere of Donald in Bath this autumn.

The play is penned by Stefano Massini, the writer of The Lehman Trilogy, which has been staged internationally and translated into multiple languages.

The work traces the rise of Donald John Trump before his entry into politics, focusing on his work in property development, golf, hotels, media and reality television, and the period leading up to his presidency.

Elliot Cowan will play the eponymous President of the United States, and will be joined by Oscar Batterham and Jo Herbert as the many other characters in the President’s life.

Adapted and directed by double Olivier Award winner Sean Foley, the piece will play in the Ustinov Studio.

Donald will begin previews on 6 November and play to 5 December. An official opening is set for 17 November.
