As corporate sponsors of SpeakEasy Stage Company in Boston, we are thrilled with the success of the current production, “Red” by John Logan. Starring Thomas Derrah and Karl Baker Olson
Winner of six 2010 Tony Awards including Best Play, Red is a searing portrait of an artist’s ambition and vulnerability. After he lands the biggest commission in the history of modern art, abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko begins work on a series of large murals with the help of a new young assistant. What takes place between the two men is a master class on the methods and purpose of art and the dynamic relationship between an artist and his creations.
Estimated Run Time: 1 hour and 40 minutes without an intermission
