'Julius Caesar': A Cautionary Tale Centuries Later


Lately, we’ve all heard a lot of discussion surrounding Public Theater’s production of ‘Julius Caesar’ that depicts Caesar as being rather Trump-like in appearance. If you are familiar with the play, you know Caesar’s character doesn’t make it to curtain call. A riot breaks out, the conspirators are forced to flee the city, a war begins and Caesar continues to haunt Brutus. Hardly a black and white tale of a victorious overthrow of power. Instead, the rendition is likely a cautionary tale of what can happen when those near to power attempt to topple power in an undemocratic way.
