Dramatic play RED by John Logan runs Mar 7-22 at StarWorks.
SYNOPSIS:
Under the watchful gaze of his young assistant and the threatening presence of a new generation of artists, Mark Rothko takes on his most challenging commission yet. RED is a moving and compelling account of one of the greatest visual artists of the 20th century whose struggle to accept his growing fame becomes his ultimate undoing.
John Logan’s additional work as an Academy Award nominated screenwriter includes: Ridley Scott’s Gladiator, Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator, and Sam Mendes’ Bond films Skyfall and Spectre.
THE EXPERIENCE:
This immersive theatrical experience is for the modern art aficionado and novice alike. Arrive early to wander through StarWorks exhibits, browse the gift shop, get a bite and brew at the Starworks Cafe & Taproom – then experience the pre-show installation of Rothko’s influences, contemporaries, and successors. Gripping yet approachable, RED is a searing portrait of an artist’s ambition and vulnerability.
Written by John Logan. Directed by Patrick Osteen.
For ages 14+.
