RED

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.

Directed by Ensemble Company associate artistic director Gabriel Garcia, and starring Ensemble Company veterans Thomas Muniz and Scott Leavitt, "RED captures the dynamic relationship between an artist and his creations.” (New York Times).
