Seeking:
Mark Rothko:
50s. One of the world’s leading abstract expressionists. His passion for painting drives him. The work of making a painting is a powerful commitment for him. He is full of opinions and observations. He is also concerned about his place in the world of modern artists. He is irascible, irritating, argumentative and fiercely connected to what an artist does in society and how the artist must engage a viewer. He is a tempestuous force of nature. (Yet we must like him and root for him). If the actor is bald or willing to “go bald”, this is a plus.
Ken:
Rothko’s new assistant. Mid to late 20s. Ken enters Rothko’s world quietly. He wants to observe the great artist and to try and learn from him. He is a painter himself and hopes to get some pointers from Rothko. Ken is involved in moving canvasses, mixing pigments, keeping the studio in the right conditions for Rothko to create. It is a fairly physical role. He can also become the object of Rothko’s scorn and condescension. There is a clear intelligence with this character. If there isn’t, then Rothko would not have kept him around (at least in terms of this play). He CHOOSES to be passive at times in order to learn. When the time is right, he CHOOSES to explode.
