Delta Air Lines has pulled its sponsorship from New York’s Public Theater after a staging of “Julius Caesar” included Caesar depicted as President Donald Trump, assassination and all. The modernized production is one of the shows at this year’s “Shakespeare in the Park” and the characters look eerily familiar. And Caesar’s wife, Calpurnia? Deadline described her as “swathed and swaddled in free-flowing silk, totters about in spike heels and speaks with a heavy Slavic accent.” Sounds a lot like President Trump and the first lady, Melania, an immigrant from Slovenia. And of course the play would be incomplete without the most famous scene of all: Caesar’s death.
