CENTRAL PARK, Manhattan -- The Trump-like character assassinated in a New York production of Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" had a dramatic new scene this weekend: A 24-year-old woman stormed the stage, yelling, "Do you want Trump to be assassinated?"

Delta and Bank of America both pulled their sponsorship of the Public Theater, which is known for its edgy, modern productions.

Prudent move by the companies who pulled sponsorship.
That protestor was Laura Loomer, BTW.
Behind the Scenes with the Right-Wing Activist Who Crashed “Julius Caesar”
That’s nothing. Let me tell you about the time my Trump production with a protestor lookalike was disrupted by Julius Caesar. Yeah.
There is absolutely nothing "edgy" about a play that advocates the assassination of Donald Trump (or George Bush, Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher for that matter). Its incredibly boring and banal. A sign that the play writer has nothing original to say.
Yeah I do. Sometimes we need to be reminded who these people (the Left) are.
Okay, you didn’t mention that fact, so I wasn’t sure if you did o didn’t know that. 🙂
While it’s difficult to apply morality to events two thousand years ago, Julius Ceasar is the hero of that play, and his assassination historically is viewed as both a tragedy and a mistake by the conspirators, who were wiped out and ushered in the empire.
But why should liberals think anything out when they can stick knives in a look a like for fun.
I’ve come to the conclusion that liberals are bad people, not just a bad ideology. They are thugs and they know it.
what’s the policy of the ‘Public Theater’ on this sort of thing? - it seems to vary from person to person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFEK0Sbq4o8&t=24s
Note: It opens in mute mode, so it requires one to activate the volume.
Does she really not know the answer to that question?
Interesting to read about the assassination of Julius Caesar. The supposed motivation was to restore the freedoms of the Roman Republic. A group of senators believed that Julius Caesar had too much power, and wanted to become a king. There were plotters who also hated him for various humiliating acts and statements. So they got rid of him, but the people of Rome were not all that happy with the results. Marc Antony was Caesar’s protege and thought he might inherit the name and wealth, but it went instead to Octavian, who then (after a civil war that had several stages and lasted over a decade) became Augustus Caesar, the first of many Roman emperors.
So the plot backfired and led to almost exactly the end result that it was supposed to prevent. And Rome enjoyed its most prosperous and glorious times anyway.
