SEEING 'RED' AT CIDER MIL

The play Red by John Logan has been described as “drama/performance art.” Master abstract expressionist Mark Rothko has just landed the biggest commission in the history of modern art: a series of murals for New York’s famed Four Seasons restaurant. In the two fascinating years that follow, Rothko works feverishly with his young assistant, Ken, in his studio on the Bowery. But when Ken gains the confidence to challenge him, Rothko faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing. The New York Times calls it, “Intense and exciting…a portrait of an angry and brilliant mind that asks you to feel the shape and texture of thoughts…Red captures the dynamic relationship between an artist and his creations.” It was the winner of the 2010 Tony Award. Red plays April 14th–May 1st at the Cider Mill Playhouse, 2 South Nanticoke Avenue in Endicott. Curtain is Thursdays–Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 3pm. All performances except Saturdays are $28 for adults, $26 for seniors (over 65) and students (18 and under); all Saturdays are $32 all seats. Tickets are available online.
