Does anyone else see comparisons between the current political situation and Shakespaere's Julius Caesar?
You will recall from your school days no doubt, that a conspiracy of senators assasinated Caesar shortly before he was going to be proclaimed emperor. The conspirators were then hunted down by a coalition of Marc Antony, Octavius and Lepidus.
I have cast Thaksin as Caesar obviously
Sonthi Boonyaratglin leader of the Junta is Cassius
Sondhi Limthongkul ex big chum of Thaksin and the man who arguably made the coup possible is Brutus
Somkid Jatusripitak (ex Deputy Prime Minister) plays Marc Antony - currently burying Thaksin rather than praising him.
After the conspirators were eliminated Octavius eventually emerged as the first emperor changing his name to Caesar Augustus and leading Rome to a period of unprecedanted greatness.
I am having trouble casting his part
