Play leads to threats

Police are investigating threats made to the wife of the director of a New York production of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar that depicted a Donald Trump look-alike character being assassinated. Police say director Oskar Eustis’s wife filed a complaint June 9 saying she received threatening phone messages she believes were related to the play. She says one caller wanted her to die after saying her husband wants the Republican president to die. The last show was performed Sunday. The theatre said last week it stood behind the production.
