Red takes us into the mind of abstract expressionist artist Mark Rothko.
Winner of the 2010 Tony Award for Best Play, Red takes us into the mind of abstract expressionist Mark Rothko, for whom paintings are “pulsating” life forces and art is intended to stop the heart. Red chronicles the tormented painter’s two-year struggle to complete a lucrative set of murals for Manhattan’s exclusive Four Seasons restaurant, and his fraught relationship with a seemingly naïve young assistant, who must choose between appeasing his mentor—and changing the course of art history.
SLO Rep Theatre is going to be showing Red by John Logan from October 14th until October 30th. Show times will be Thursdays – Saturdays @ 7PM and Saturdays – Sundays @ 2PM. See the website for details and to buy tickets online.
