Winner of six 2010 Tony Awards including Best Play, Red by John Logan took Broadway by storm with its provocative and searing true portrait of an artist's ambition and vulnerability. Having just landed the biggest commission in modern art history, 20th-century abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko works feverishly in his studio with his brash young assistant, Ken. As Rothko nears completion of what he hopes will be his crowning achievement, he faces the possibility that the project could also become his undoing. In its New England premiere at SpeakEasy Stage Company, Red is directed by David R. Gammons. Award-winning Boston actor Thomas Derrah and Karl Baker Olson star.
