Red

Written by John Logan
Directed by Jesse Richardson

6 - 27 September, 2020

 
 

Under the watchful gaze of his young assistant and a growing competitive presence of a new generation of artists, Mark Rothko takes on his greatest challenge yet: to create a definitive series of paintings for the Philip Johnson-designed Four Seasons restaurant in the iconic Seagram Building.

A moving and compelling account of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, Mark Rothko, Red takes a compelling look at the ever-changing relationship between an artist and his creations.
