I proposed the following question to the NYT: if the actor were a a black man with dark, short, curly hair, would you still support the play? I am anxiously waiting for a reply. (Not)
I think the lead character’s name should be change to Arthur Sulzberger
There was a production with an Obama lookalike as Julius Caesar in 2012. There was even one with a woman resembling Hilary. I really don`t understand the outrage.
I recommend reading https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/06/the-misplaced-outrage-over-a-trumpian-julius-caesar/530037/ for more on the history of the play.
Your question is actually the solution to the problem: We need a Conservative group to have the same play, substituting Obama for Trump, make lots of noise then watch the reaction.
