Trump-like 'Julius Caesar' isn't the first time the play has killed a contemporary politician

The production of "Julius Caesar" now being put on in New York City's Central Park is coming under intense fire due to its portrayal of the bloody assassination of a ruler who resembles President Trump. But this is hardly the first time that William Shakespeare's masterpiece has seen a modern politician subbed in for Caesar and felled by assassins' knives. It's not even the first time the director of this production, Oskar Eustis, has modernized the play in that way.
