"Unprecedented"??? How about Aristophanes' 'Lysistrata'? (411BC)

And, I'm sure, many, many others.

The regional theater, the (Sir Tyrone) Guthrie Theater in  Minneapolis,
is currently doing a satirical monologue by Mike Daisey,  entitled,
"The Trump Card."

The description does not sound as though the tenor of the monologue
is complimentary to candidate Trump, though there are such
descriptions as Trump having "brutal honesty,"  but then Trump  is
also referred to as a "vulgarian.  

This political intrusion into a venue for classical theater is  
unprecedented.

It is another indicator of the amazing current election campaign.
