The Saturday Play: Being Mussolini

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Aldo is a very ordinary man, save for one thing: he looks and sounds exactly like Mussolini. Being
Mussolini's lookalike is no easy matter, especially when Italy is at war and your wife prefers your new identity. A frantic mix of the surreal and the comic combines in Boothby Graffoe 's new play.
Producer/Director Claudine Toutoungi
