A new production of Julius Caesarat New York City's annual Shakespeare in the Park event features the classic scene showing Caesar being stabbed to death by his friend Brutus and others.

Only in this version, the man playing Caesar is wearing a suit, a red tie, and a large blonde wig, which has led some to believe (including some theater critics) that the intent was to show a theatrical version of Trump being assassinated on stage.

On Wednesday, Inside Editionposted video footage of the play, and days later Delta, one of the sponsors of the Public Theater, the organization behind the Shakespeare in the Park play, announced that it was pulling its support. In a series of tweets on Sunday, the company outlined why it was pulling out of the event, making clear that the issue was the Julius Caesarplay:

"No matter what your political stance may be, the graphic staging of Julius Caesar at this summer's Free Shakespeare in Park does not reflect Delta Air Lines’ values. Their artistic and creative direction crossed the line on the of good taste. We have notified them of our decision to end our sponsorship as the official airline of The Public Theater effective immediately."

Not long after Delta's move, another sponsor of the play, Bank of America, also pulled its sponsorship.

"The Public Theater chose to present Julius Caesarin a way that was intended to provoke and offend," a Bank of America spokesperson told the New York Times. "Had this intention been made known to us, we would have decided not to sponsor it. We are withdrawing our funding for this production."

And while the video footage has been around for days, it wasn't until Fox News posted its take on the video on Sunday -- tellingly leaving out in their tweet that it was a production of Julius Caesar, not a new anti-Trump play -- that the outrage from some on social media truly ramped up.

That take was retweeted on Sunday morning by Donald Trump Jr., leading to thousands of Trump supporters latching on to the news. Hours later, facing mounting pressure from some users on social media, Delta made public its decision to pull its support for the play.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

What has followed is an intense debate both in support of the play as a harmless, standard production of Shakespeare's 400-year-old work and against it as an attack on Trump.

For context, the Public Theater is known for important, provocative work (it's where Hamiltonwas developed and made its Off-Broadway debut). Given the groundbreaking theatrical work the Public Theater has supported in the past, it doesn't seem likely that the move by Delta will compel the producers to change anything about its Julius Caesarplay. (The Public Theater didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.)

If Delta's goal was to get away from any potential outrage, that's not going to happen anytime soon. Now, many arts-lovers are taking to social media equally upset for what they see as Delta caving to online anger.

One thing is for sure: In 2017, you can't escape Trump, even during a beautiful, sunny day in a New York City park.
