Red is a play by American writer John Logan about artist Mark Rothko first produced by the Donmar Warehouse, London, on December 8, 2009. The original production was directed by Michael Grandage and performed by Alfred Molina as Rothko and Eddie Redmayne as his fictional assistant Ken.[1][2][3]
The production, with its two leads, transferred to Broadway at the John Golden Theatre for a limited engagement which began on March 11, 2010, and closed on June 27.[4] It was the 2010 Tony Award winner for Best Play. Additionally, Redmayne won a 2010 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play.[5]
Synopsis[edit]
'There is only one thing I fear in life, my friend.. One day the black will swallow the red.'[3]
Mark Rothko is in his New York studio in 1958/59, having been commissioned to paint a group of murals for the expensive and exclusive Four Seasons restaurant. He gives orders to his assistant, Ken, as he mixes the paints, makes the frames, and paints the canvases. Ken, however, brashly questions Rothko's theories of art and his acceding to work on such a commercial project. For his part, Rothko dislikes the rise of pop art.
Ultimately, Rothko stops working on the project and decides to return the money. He explains to Ken that the Four Seasons is an inappropriate place for his murals to be seen.

Reception[edit]
Reviews for the London production were mixed for the play but positive for Molina's performance. Michael Billington in The Guardian wrote: 'Alfred Molina, with his large frame and beetling eyebrows, has exactly the fierce intensity of an artist whose paintings were a dynamic battle between Apollo and Dionysus'.[6]
In reviewing the Broadway production, Michael Kuchwara of the Associated Press wrote: 'They are the tantalizing first words of Red, John Logan's engrossing, often enthralling new play about art, an artist and the act of creation.' Those first words were 'What do you see?' Variety wrote that 'Alfred Molina is majestic'.[7]
Awards and nominations[edit]
The play won the 2010 Drama League Award for Distinguished Production of a Play and Molina won the Distinguished Performance Award.[8]
The play was nominated for a total of seven Tony Awards, winning six, including: Best Play, Best Featured Actor in a Play for Eddie Redmayne, Best Direction of a Play for Michael Grandage, Best Scenic Design of a Play for Christopher Oram, Best Lighting Design of a Play for Neil Austin, and Best Sound Design of a Play for Adam Cork.[5] In addition, Alfred Molina was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his role as Mark Rothko. All in all, it received the most wins out of any other production that season. The play also won the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play while Grandage and Austin were honoured with Drama Desk Awards for their work. Molina, Cork and Oram were also similarly nominated.[9]

So I think it's safe to say that Red by John Logan is one of the most fascinating plays I've come across. It doesn't reach up to the standards of Shakespeare; rather the play creates its own standards to be judged with, because it's just that compelling.

I've never cared much for Rothko's art but nevertheless am fascinated by the appeal he has for so many. When I heard about this play, I was curious as to how the artist was treated.
I haven't gone to the theater in years and when I did, I only attended contemporary plays that were chosen by friends - my own preferences were either classics, musical theater, or opera. I occasionally enjoyed plays by David Mamet or Tom Stoppard, but most others I found forgettable.

HOW ARE YOU?!.. HOW WAS YOUR DAY?!.. HOW ARE YOU FEELING? Conflicted. Nuanced. Troubled. Diseased. Doomed. I am not fine. We are not fine. We are anything but fine.. Look at these pictures. Look at them! You see the dark rectangle, like a doorway, an aperture, yes but it’s also a gaping mouth letting out a silent howl of something feral and foul and primal and REAL. Not nice. Not fine. Real. A moan of rapture. Something divine or damned. Something immortal, not comic books or soup cans, something beyond me and beyond now. And whatever it is, it’s not pretty and it’s not fine..I AM HERE TO STOP YOUR HEART”
