RED is a gripping play by John Logan that delves into the life of abstract expressionist artist Mark Rothko. Set in his studio, it explores themes of artistic genius, personal sacrifice, and the often tumultuous relationship between Rothko and his young assistant. As they confront the meaning of art and legacy, the tension between ambition and commercialism unfolds, challenging their perspectives on creativity. Directed by David Ellenstein, this thought-provoking production invites audiences to reflect on the costs of creating a masterpiece.
