Winner of six 2010 Tony Awards including Best Play, Red, written by John Logan (an Academy Award nominee for Hugo), 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, circa 1958, 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.

This play was amazing. Incredible acting, incredible writing, the whole package. Go see it while you can! If you have ever looked at modern art with a bewildered "what the?", this play actually attempts to answer that question. Great stuff.

Great peek into the life and mind of Mark Rothko, a very intriguing artist. The play was very well done, great sets, loved the big rothko canvas' and the devoted actors. A thought provoking work.

The acting was great. Set too. Though art and Rothko is a very thought-provoking I'm not sure it was enough for me for a 90 minute play. May be for others...

I enjoyed the story line, however some of the dialogue was hard to hear.

Description

by John Logan
directed by Richard E.T. White
Produced in association with Arizona Theatre Company

“What do you see?” Famed abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko asks his young assistant, Ken, the loaded question. What’s art? And who gets to decide anyway? It’s 1958, and Rothko has just been offered the biggest commission in the history of modern art. He and Ken work feverishly in his New York studio—until Ken begins to realize his answers to those fundamental questions about art are very different than his mentor’s. Winner of six Tony Awards, this sizzling 90-minute drama is one of the most intellectually riveting shows to hit Broadway last season.
