I got our tix and I’m so excited to see RED, the Tony Award winning play about the fury of Mark Rothko.
In a review of the play by Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times Theater Critic:
Consider the play’s title, a primary color symbolizing to Rothko a stand against encroaching blackness and hence a source of vitality but also serving as a vivid reminder of blood and human vulnerability. These dimensions of life and death are as entwined as art and money, order and chaos (another prevailing theme) and, of course, the emotional needs of fathers and sons.
“Red” invites us to ponder these shifting relationships with the same open-minded engagement that Rothko’s pulsating masterpieces expect and deserve.
The play runs until Sept. 9th at the Mark Taper Forum. Here and Here for more info.
