WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play!
Red is set in 1958 as New York artist Mark Rothko (Alfred Molina) has received the art world's largest commission to create a series of murals for The Four Seasons restaurant in the new Seagram building on Park Avenue. Under the watchful gaze of his young assistant, Ken (Eddie Redmayne) and the threatening presence of a new generation of artists, Rothko faces his greatest challenge yet: to create a definitive work for an extraordinary setting. Red is a moving and compelling account of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, whose struggle to accept his growing riches and praise became his ultimate undoing.

Toward the end of Red, John Logan's invigorating portrait of the artist Mark Rothko that's now playing the Golden Theatre, Rothko (Alfred Molina) charges his assistant and aspiring artist Ken (Eddie Redmayne) to "Make them look." It's an admonishment from an older artist to a younger one about painting, but it seems to be a command that the performers and director Michael Grandage have taken to heart with the production. For 90 largely plotless minutes, theatergoers are riveted to this play, unable to extricate themselves from both the performances and the show itself.
The action of Red unfolds over the course of two years as Rothko works on the famed murals that were to have hung at the[...]
