And it's a modern rendition of Julius Caesar.. you know.. who dies during the play? This one is a much ado about nothing. Is the play any good other than "OMG... they assassinate a president during it"?

Granted, would you have seen this during an Obama presidency? Nope... Clinton Presidency? Hm.... I think they might have been willing to do it with Hillary.

They did do it for Obama in 2012 and no one caused a fuss.

In the same play, or was it a different one, tennis?

Same Julius Caesar play http://www.startribune.com/trump-themed-...427990033/

In that case, I take my statement back about them not doing it during an Obama Presidency, as I didn't realize this was a re-occurring play.

So two wrongs make a right now? It's wrong period. It doesn't matter who's in the WH. A play about an assassination is not PC, something that the Liberalturds cry so much about. "IT'S NOT PC!"...should be their cry.

Julius Caesar is inherently about assassination, so you're calling for it to never be shown again?

It's a modern retelling on Julius Caesar. Which you know.. was about an ... wait for it... An assassination!

Holy crap... let's burn all the Shakespeare books, since most of them involve some political issue and some involve... people being murdered!

Dunno as I wasn't a theater major (I earned a degree that was actually worth something) but perhaps they could make a play about Julius Caesar set in ancient Rome and they wouldn't have this problem. Just spit-balling here.

Quote:but perhaps they could make a play about Julius Caesar set in ancient Rome and they wouldn't have this problem

And which Shakespearean play would that involve redoing?

I guess by those same guidelines.. nobody is allowed to ever do a remake of Hamlet again. Or Othello (Can you imagine the tizzy THIS one would start up again?)

I'm having trouble following your line of thought here.

The play Julius Caesar is set in Caesar's time, which is ancient Rome. If you want to do the play then have the setting of the play be ancient Rome. Last time I checked neither Obama nor Trump were in ancient Rome.

Are you being intentionally dense? It's a modern interpretation... saying stories should only be told in their original context is rediculous.

Modern interpretation = socially acceptable plagiarism.

It's a classic play, one of the best of all times. It doesn't need a "modern interpretation.

Holy mackerel Kap... So by that logic..

West Side Story should have never been made
The Lion King? Gone.. can't have a retelling of Hamlet be put on the big screen.
The Magnificent Seven..

Or is it just a Presidential assassination part?

Hell, I'll give you "Death of a President" since that was specifically written to fictionalize the death of President Bush, and was one of those that went over the line.

I'll have to go back and look and see what people thought of the variations of Othello that were done...

But a retelling of a classic literary masterpiece is bad?

Lol modern interpretation = modern characters and/or setting usually for the purpose of being more relatable to an audience that doesn't live in ancient Rome...

Apparently some obscure theater somewhere in freaking Minnesota.

Not exactly the equivalent to Central Park theater.

But, yes. Apparently "they" had zerO cast in the same role.

True classics, such as this play, don't need a modern setting or characters to be relatable. The fact that the audience didn't live "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." hasn't stopped the Star Wars series from being arguably the most popular movies of all time. If the topic and story-telling are good it will reach the audience.

Modern interpretations are just lazy ways for people to tray and take credit for and make money off the work of someone else, be it this play, a cover song, or a movie remake. It's the refuge of the talentless.

Lol opinion after opinion. Well guess what, the first amendment doesn't care about your opinion and central park is not a "safe space"... You don't like the play, don't go see it. You don't think it should be allowed, tell it to the founding fathers.

So sick of snowflakes thinking they have the right to take away constitutionally protected freedoms because they don't like something or it hurts their fragile little feelings.

Perhaps you could create a counter play that does classic Caesar just like it has been done over and over and over again. I hear people hate it when things they are bored with change to be more relatable.

Did Amex get the message?
