BS! They associate Trump with a dictator and promote his death at the hands of those who consider themselves to be judge, jury, and executioner. They offer no evidence that Trump intends to seek dictatorial powers and then claim a democratic right to execute their effigy.
The funny thing is that by the time the historical event occurred, the “democracy” they are alluding to had long been subverted by the privileged classes of Rome. Caesar sparked the 1st Roman Civil War when he brought an army across the Rubicon to “explain” his disagreement at being denied the opportunity to stand for consular election, his murder sparked the second civil war between the factions, and the third was a war between the victors of the second.
Ultimately, there can be only one (Caesar).
Consequently, the production is closer to our actual situation that the play’s producers imagine. It is a play about a class of obsolete politicians plotting and murdering controversial and erratic but equally privileged “man of the people.”
My only question is where are the establishment politicians in the portrayals of the conspirators? Which contemporary politician is Marc Antony, which Brutus, which Cassius?
Unfortunately, there are no roles for female conspirators because there are two or three top Democratic women that would be perfect for the role.
