A Reading by the Suffield Players

 

Date Thursday, September 20th

TOTALLY FREE!!!

Written in 2009, Red shows artist Mark Rothko in his New York Studio in 1958/59, painting a group of murals for the Four Seasons restaurant. He gives orders to his assistant, Ken, as Mark mixes the paints, makes the frames, and paints the canvas. Ken, however, brashly questions Rothko’s theories of art and his acceding to work on such a commercial project. The play won the 2010 Drama League Award for Distinguished Production of a Play, and won six Tony Awards, including Best Play, and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play.
