ReVision Theatre Presents RED, Beginning 8/23

For the first time in its five year history in Asbury Park, ReVision Theatre will be producing a drama, Red.  This gripping play by John Logan about the abstract expressionist artist Mark Rothko was originally produced in London in December 2009 and transferred to Broadway in 2010.

The Broadway production won six Tony Awards including Best Play. This intense and exciting two-character bio-drama starred Tony nominated Alfred Molina and Tony & Olivier winner Eddie Redmayne (Broadway debut) and ran for 101 performances.  Mr. Logan’s previous credits include the screenplays for “Gladiator” and “The Aviator”.   The New York Times called Red “a portrait of an angry and brilliant mind that asks you to feel the shape and texture of thoughts…(and) captures the dynamic relationship between an artist and his creation.”

Set in a New York studio in the Bowery as the artist Rothko sets out to paint a series of murals for a lucrative commission at the Four Seasons in New York City, his assistant, Ken, questions Rothko's theories of art and decision to accept such a commercial project and plants doubts about the appropriateness of hanging his paintings in such a “temple of consumption".  For more information about the show, please visit us at revisiontheatre.org.
