A dress rehearsal for a production of Shakespeare's “Julius Caesar,” starring Gregg Henry in a Trump-like take on the title role. (Joan Marcus/Public Theater via AP)The Public Theater in New York is staging an adaptation of Shakespeare's “Julius Caesar” that stars a Trump-like character in the title role. If your view of the press is generally unfavorable, however, you probably see sponsorship of the Public Theater as the latest sign of bias and aggression. “NYT is sponsoring an assassination depiction of Donald Trump,” blared a headline on the Daily Caller. If you're in NYC, go see Julius Caesar, free in Central Park, brilliantly interpreted for Trump era.
