October 30th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
RED is a play about Latvian born painter and printmaker Mark Rothko (born Marcus Rothkowitz), the Abstract expressionist famous for his huge, primitive and often tragic canvas pieces depicting rectangular fields of color and light.
The play gives an account of the artist’s struggle to create a definitive work whilst labouring under the watchful eye of his youthful assistant.
Written by John Logan, directed by Michael Grandage and starring up and coming actor Eddie Redmayne and Alfred Molina, this is a play well worth seeing.
“A moving and compelling account of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century whose struggle to accept his growing riches and praise became his ultimate undoing”.
