| The problem with interpreting this production as being about America in the time of Trump is that Fish first directed a production of the show back in 2007 at Bard. I don't know how close that was to the current production, but this production basically goes back to 2015 at Bard. I know that changes have been made, but my understanding is that, if anything those changes softened the murder of Jud (as it would seem one would have to describe it in this production). IIRC, it was reported in 2015 that Curly shot Jud as Jud was walking away from him (and Jud's back to Curly). Personally, I don't think that Rodgers and Hammerstein intended there to be any ambiguity about Jud falling on his own knife, nor do I think that Lynn Riggs intended there to be any ambiguity about it |
