"All my life I wanted just this, my friend: to create a place... A place where the viewer could live in contemplation with the work and give it some of the same attention and care I gave it. Like a chapel... A place of communion."- Mark

Winner of the 2010 Tony Award for Best Play, Red is the story of artist Mark Rothko, who has just landed the biggest commission in the history of modern art - a series of murals for New York's famed Four Seasons Restaurant. In the two fascinating years that follow, Rothko faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing. emotionally raw and provocative, Red is a searing portrait of an artist's ambition and vulnerability as he tries to create a definitive work for an extraordinary setting.
