Caryl Churchill Takes on Trump in Pop-Up Play ‘Triumph’

Upon entering the Public Theater’s intimate Shiva Theater to see Caryl Churchill’s “Triumph,” audiences are greeted by a sign reading, in reference to the 20-minute play we’re about to see, “Everything the emperors are said to have done is taken from Suetonius, The Twelve Caesars,” a reference to a classic work by the Roman historian tracing the lives of the ancient empire’s leaders.
