Jay Sullivan, Scott Wentworth to Star in Alley Theatre’s Red
The cast and creative team for the Alley Theatre’s production of 2010 Best Play Tony Award winner, Red, has been announced. Jackson Gay will direct the production, which will perform on the Hubbard Stage, March 2-24, with an opening on March 7.
In John Logan’s Red , master abstract expressionist Mark Rothko has just landed the biggest commission in the history of modern art, a series of murals for New York’s famed Four Seasons restaurant. In the two years that follow, Rothko works feverishly with his young assistant, Ken, in his studio on the Bowery. But when Ken gains the confidence to challenge him, Rothko faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing.
Tony-nominee Scott Wentworth will play Rothko, with Jay Sullivan as Rothko’s assistant Ken.
Red will feature scenic design by Takeshi Kata and costume design by Jessica Ford. Lighting design is by Paul Whitaker and sound design is by Matt Tierney.
