Delta will not longer sponsor New York Public Theater due to a re-imagined production of Shakespeare's classic play - Julius Caesar- which shows a Donald Trump lookalike being stabbed to death on the senate floor.

The 'Shakespeare in the Park' play, which tells the story of the Roman dictator assassinated by senators who fear he is becoming a tyrant, takes place in the present day and features many familiar faces.

Greg Henry and Tina Benko were cast as the leading pair of Caesar and his wife Calpurnia, bearing a striking resemblance to Donald and Melania Trump.

A new version of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar has caused outrage for reimagining the play with Donald Trump as the titular character

Henry, who has played Trump's character before, has a reddish-blond combover, wears a suit and sports a red tie that hangs a few inches below his belt.

The character meets his end when he is stabbed by suited conspirators, mainly women and minorities, after being dragged down from his podium in the senate.

And the Trump similarities to the president don't stop there. A woman who attended an early session of the play said Caesar's wife, Calpurnia - who begs him not to attend the senate due to a premonition she had foreshadowing his murder, resembles Melania Trump and speaks with a 'Slavic accent'.

Delta Airlines typically donates between $100,000 and $499,000 annually to the New York Public Theater, and pulled its sponsorship late Sunday afternoon, according to Deadline.

'No matter what your political stance may be, the graphic staging of Julius Caesar at this summer's Free Shakespeare in the Park does not reflect Delta Air Lines' values,' a Delta spokesperson said in a statement.

'Their artistic and creative direction crossed the line on the standards of good taste,' the statement continued. 'We have notified them of our decision to end our sponsorship as the official airline of the Public Theater effective immediately.'

The airline wasn't the only company to pull out of sponsoring the performance.

Late Sunday night Bank of America tweeted a statement saying it's withdrawing its funding for the Public Theater's production of Julius Caesar.

It said the theater 'chose to present Julius Caesar in such a way that was intended to provoke and offend'.

The show, which reportedly includes a bloody onstage murder scene, does not include a warning about the violent or graphic nature of the assassination.

The New York Public Theater's artistic director Oskar Eustis said on the company's website the production should not be taken seriously.

'Julius Caesar can be read as a warning parable to those who try to fight for democracy by undemocratic means. To fight the tyrant does not mean imitating him,' Eustis wrote.

Additionally, speaking to Pix 11, he said: 'anyone seeing our production of Julius Caesar will realize it in no way advocates violence towards anyone.'

Delta's announcement comes after a number of people have accused ht show of promoting violence against the President - a hot topic given Kathy Griffin's recent blunder when she posed for a photo holding the bloody decapitated fake head of Trump.

'This is sick! When will the Hollywood types learn it is inappropriate to act out the death of our president?' CNN contributor and Trump supporter Kayleigh McEnany wrote on Twitter.
