Who Played Ken in Red

Ken is a role in Red, a play that opened West End in 2018.

MGC Artistic Director Michael Grandage directs. Based on the original Donmar Warehouse production, this new production is the first ever UK revival since Grandage directed the premier in 2009. The production went on to win six Tony Awards including Best Play. Award-winning stage and screen actor Alfred Molina reprises his critically acclaimed performance as the American abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko. He is joined by rising star Alfred Enoch of US television drama series How to Get Away With Murder as his assistant Ken. Under the watchful gaze of his young assistant, and the threatening presence of a new generation of artists, Mark Rothko takes on his greatest challenge yet: to create a definitive work for an extraordinary setting. Red reunites John Logan and Michael Grandage following Peter and Alice with Judi Dench and Ben Whishaw which formed part of MGC's inaugural season in the West End in 2013, and their feature film Genius.
