Corey Stoll, the actor who played the assassin Marcus Brutus in the Julius Caesar ‘Trump assassination’ play said he ‘exhaled and sobbed’ after the final show because of the pro-Trump protesters had repeatedly interrupted their performance.

The UK Guardian:

Corey Stoll, the actor who played the assassin Marcus Brutus in a New York production of Julius Caesar that was repeatedly interrupted by pro-Donald Trump protesters, has written of the fear such actions engendered among a cast left “exhausted and nervous” by the time of the final show, in Central Park last Sunday.

The interruptions escalated when Loomer took to the stage, although Stoll said the actors were met with a “thunderous standing ovation” when they decided to simply continue the play.

“In our last two performances, the security increased again, and the moment before the assassination became meta-theatrical,” he wrote. “As the conspirators covertly moved in on Caesar, I wondered how many eyes were on us, at the same time, waiting for their own cue?”

By the final show, Stoll said, the cast was “exhausted and nervous” and security again had to deal with a protester, who attempted to invade the stage and shouted “I’m sick of your bullshit!.” Stoll said that after the show he “exhaled and sobbed” backstage.
