The play is based on social justice and at this time we know not many people might not be interested in a Greek play. So, they wanted to attract people to send a real time message and what is happening in our society. 

They included law enforcement also in their preparations. Which shows they are aware of what other parties think and communication between them. 

I think it changed my mind slightly. Not that much. I still think Greek play is quite different than this. But it gave me visual aspect what I did not have by reading.
