John Logan

Published by Dramatists Play Service

2 Male 0 Female

Master abstract expressionist Mark Rothko 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 works feverishly with his young assistant, Ken, in his studio on the Bowery

But when Ken gains the confidence to challenge him, Rothko faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing

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

"John Logan sends American abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko into battle with his demons in this electrifying play of ideas, and the artist's howls are pure music ... Rothko is one old lion that will keep roaring until he draws his last breath" ~ Variety

"Logan's success lies in reminding us that painting is a job of work ... what emerges is something rare in modern drama: a totally convincing portrait of the artist as a working visionary" ~ Guardian (UK)
