I suppose that's true... I don't have the text of the original Evita. I guess he should have said "Che, dressed in the iconic revolutionary garb, representing Che Guevara, who indeed this character is in a symbolic way, for the purpose of this play." But beyond stating that it is THAT Che, I don't think the play needs to use any specifics about him nor do we need to learn anything about him in the play. Just as I can have a play where Adolf Hitler (dressed as such) and Anne Frank (dressed as such) engage in a comedy of manners and never once refer to anything about their actual lives, and have it intended to be symbolic... and that won't make them any less those people in my play.
