Those leftist schmucks would love that we find this offensive. Better to target the sponsors. Several big ones have withdrawn their support already.
Won’t do any good and I think this kind of behavior reinforces what we know about the left and advertises their cruelty and idiocy. Reaction to a play about (insert liberal woman’s name) being raped by gangs would certainly be interesting, and probably indictable in the left’s mind.
Why bother? These Leftist a$$holes revel in getting communications from pi$$ed off Conservatives. Going after some of their donors is a much more fruitful exercise. Stenching the money to perpetuate this trash is much more effective.
Did my part to the donor email address:
Substituting a caricature of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, for Julius Caesar so that your actors can administer a bloody slaughter by stabbings on stage may be satisfying to a segment of your supporters. I hope not, but it is difficult to understand the depths to which the partisan can plummet.
You should be aware that this disgraceful exercise has mobilized a groundswell of opposition to the use which public space & public & private monies are being utilized. There will be a blow back against not only this production but against NEA and PBS since they are already associated in American minds with tasteless and offensive productions such as Mapplethorpe.
The lack of judgement and of fiduciary responsibility shown by your organization in this matter is truly staggering and should give pause to both your corporate sponsors and individual donors.
I note that in the still photo I saw 100% (all three) of the assailants were black.
How is associating blacks with violent behavior not racist?
Art is the thermometer in the ass of society.
What’s to keep some from making plays where news media towers like CNN or NBC come crumbling down? What’s to keep someone from making videos taking the life of obama? Other liberal politicians? Or leftist celebrities like Alec Baldwin? And those taking action against the leftist extremists being portrayed as heros?
HOW WOULD THE LEFT RESPOND?
Persoanally, I would not like to,see it come to that so the left needs to realize that there are other sides to a coin.
The sponsors need to be boycotted, especially CNN, whose parent company Time Warner is a sponsor.
Here is list of corporate sponsors:

Nork butterball publicly announced that NYC is his first nuke target. He might have have the co-ordinates for these idiots stage to be ground zero. /S
Thanks for the post.
bttt
To me it isn’t so much to get enraged, as to muse about what fools these lefties be.
They think Donald Trump is a Julius Caesar.
But Donald Trump never said “worship me.” That was something that Caesars did.
