A Shakespearean take on Trump is causing controversy in New York
New Yorker editor Michael Schulman discusses New York Public Theatre's latest production of Julius Caesar which depicts the classic Shakespearean character as Donald Trump.
This year, the New York Public Theatre is staging Julius Caesar in Central Park. In the play, as some of us may know, Caesar gets assassinated. That's nothing new, but in this particular production, Julius Caesar looks a lot like Donald Trump.
As you can imagine, that's not sitting well with some people and it has some major donors pulling money out of the theatre.
Michael Schulman is the theatre editor for New Yorker Magazine's Goings On About Town section. Today, he speaks to Tom Power about this latest controversy.
