Red at Virginia Repertory Theatre

Winner of 6 Tony Awards including Best Play!
A searing portrait of an artist’s ambition and vulnerability, Red is a moving and compelling account of Mark Rothko (one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century) and his young assistant, Ken. As Rothko struggles with a recent commission by New York’s Four Seasons Restaurant, the two men both go head to head on the methods and purpose of art and the dynamic relationship between an artist and his creations. Join us for this electrifying new play that exposes human need and desire like no other. “There is only once thing I fear in life, my friend… One day the black will swallow the red.”
