About RED:
Master American 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, with groundbreaking performances, Red is a searing portrait of an artist's ambition and vulnerability as he tries to create a definitive work for an extraordinary setting.

About the Broadway Production:
Starring Alfred Molina and Eddie Redmayne, and directed by Michael Gandage, RED is playing on Broadway, at the Golden Theater, through June 27. The production received 7 Tony Award nominations, the most of any new play this season
