Tom Hollander says he does not open fan mail sent following his performance in the West End play Patriots in case it has been poisoned by “overzealous” Russian agents.

The British actor plays the lead role in the production, which follows the life of billionaire Russian businessman Boris Berezovsky through the decline of the Soviet Union and the rise of the Russian oligarchs.
