You see this is called "art" do you want me to explain the history of theatre to you..
Its called making an old play relevant and is used all the time.
Here is an updated version of coriolanous staring Ralph Fienes.
And here is Romeo and Juliet placed in a modern setting with Leonardo Decaprio.
I could go on and on and on at this but you seem to have the last 500 years of culture pass you by.
You forgot West Side Story for being a modern version of Romeo and Juliet. But, they weren't portraying modern political figures being assassinated. And here is the final scene of Coriolanus where a current poilitical figure gets assassinated. The figure represented a mixture of eastern European despots during the 90s unrests.

And yet most terror attacks are carried out by right wing extremists aren't they.
There is no question that they are.
But that seems to be ignored by the right, but then when occasionally some left wing person does something similar they get all crazy and act like its all new.

There are more far rightwing extremist groups then left . And far more of them preach an openly violent message . And it's not via a play.

Where others recognize a lasting feat of literary accomplishment, they see only sedition and treason.

Ok let me rephrase what I said so I don't offend the theatre wankers.
There is a play involving someone who looks like Donald Trump being assassinated, I can see why it may be considered to be risky because it involves assasinating someone who seems to be somewhat of a likeness of the currant president.
And to restate again, yeh so what? I liked a song a while ago by the offspring called kill the president. I do think it should be allowed.
I said it in my first post.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

The "so what" doesn't have anything to do with whether or not it "should be allowed". OFC it's allowed it's fucking shakespeare. We've been putting it on for awhile now......
The so what is simple. The play does not call for the assassination of trump, and the whole point of the play is that the assassination that does happen was a very bad idea™. Trumpsters decided to make noise about this one...either hoping that the audience to which they were squaking was ignorant at a middle school level..or they themselves were. This is the nature of the trumpsters being oppressed, being left behind by america.
It's not something that anyone is doing -to- them.

It is allowed and one can acquire the song.
The same play we're discussing had Obama as Caesar.

That's obviously "fake news." Nothing before 2016 is real.
