Public Theater’s Shakespeare In The Park Production Of ‘Julius Caesar’ Won’t Retract Call For President Trump’s Assassination
The Public Theater is refusing to back down after backlash over its
production of "Julius Caesar" that portrays a Donald Trump-like dictator
in a business suit with a long tie who gets knifed to death onstage.
Delta Air Lines and Bank of America have pulled their sponsorship of the
Public's version of the play, but in a statement Monday the theater
said it stands behind the production. It noted its staging has "provoked
heated discussion" but "such discussion is exactly the goal of our
civically-engaged theater; this discourse is the basis of a healthy
democracy."

The Public
Theater’s new Free Shakespeare in the Park production of “Julius
Caesar,” which has stirred controversy with its depiction of
a Trump-like Caesar, opened Monday night to a supportive crowd who gave
the show a standing ovation after the production became the focus
of right-leaning criticism and funding withdrawals.
EDITOR’S NOTE:When liberals want to call for someone’s death or execution without
overtly saying the words, like all cowards, they hide behind something
to do it. In this case, they are hiding behind the oh-so-thin veil of
‘performance art’. Kathy Griffin held up a ketchup-laden rubber Trump
mask, but the ISIS message that sent was clear to everyone who saw it.
Using ‘Julius Caesar’ to engage in the Liberal fantasy of seeing someone
kill our president is equally clear as well. This is not art, it’s
cowardly Liberal incitement to violence.
