Written by John Logan

Hailed as "intense and exciting" by The New York Times, Red took Broadway by storm with this electrifying drama that spans the spectrum of human emotion. Having just landed the most lucrative commission in modern art history, abstract expressionist Mark Rothko works feverishly in his studio with his brash young assistant, Ken. As Rothko nears completion of what he hopes will be his crowning achievement, he faces the possibility that it could also become his undoing.

John Logan, the Oscar-nominated author of Aviator and Gladiator, won Tony Awards for this smart, scintillating portrait of an artist's ambition and vulnerability.

Content Advisory: Red contains strong adult language and mature themes. Recommended for adult audiences and older teenagers.

What Critics and Audiences are saying...

"Their uneasy camaraderie is crucial to the piece, and the fact it works so well meant I was holding my breath as the two rattled off a rapid-fire laundry list of objects, emotions and shadings associated with the color red in a thrilling exchange." - Matt Palm, ORLANDO SENTINEL

"Red at the Shakespeare Theater is a brilliant play, brilliantly directed by Patrick Flick and brilliantly acted by the two-man cast of John Herrera as Painter Mark Rothko and Buddy Haardt as his assistant." - Josh Garrick, WP/MAITLAND OBSERVER

"It was Broadway quality. We loved it and I may go to see it a second time. The acting was incredibly good." - Audience member
