  • video.playbill.com John Logan's "Red," a winner of six 2010 Tony Awards including Best Play and Best Direction, makes its Los Angeles debut at the Mark Taper Forum. Alfred Molina reprises the role he originated in the West End and received a Tony nomination for on Broadway. Mark Rothko (Molina) is a passionate and vitriolic abstract painter who, in the midst of his largest commission ever, is struggling to come to terms with success, wealth and fame. Jonathan Groff plays his young assistant Ken - an artist in his own right - who is coming into his own identity while challenging his master at every turn. Michael Grandage once again directs the production which received its world premiere at London's Donmar Warehouse.

    Molina is a freaking BEAST in this performance. It still astonishes me that they didn't give this performance a tie with Denzel Washington at the Tonys that year.

      playwrite should be sued for plagiarism - so many direct quotes and cops from the taschen art series book it's ridiculous - it's not "real" because there's nothing of writer's soul in it - rothco would have hated this

    I performed this Thursday and Friday as Rothko. Fantastic show, amazing really. It was so filled with emotion and evolution... My favorite lines: " You really think the multifarious complexities and nuances of the human psyche, evolving through countless generations, perverted and demented by social neurosis and personal anguish, molded by faith and lack of faith, could really be so goddamn simple?" Fantastic!

      You can't. There have been a few remakes...but... Although it is showing in London right now...until the end of the month. WITH Molina.

      It is a really good idea. They should get with it and record these and put them on video! You can hear the Audible version of the play...AND it was done by molina!

      Little late responding. But in case anybody else might be wondering, it's available as an audio play on Audible.

    Putting Andy Warhol in his place is something that real artists do frequently.
    The celebrity cult's hero is not universally recognized as a great artist.

    Very grateful I got to see it with Molina and Redmayne in its original Broadway run- also went to Moma beforehand and luckily they had a lot of Rothkos on display so it gave me an understanding I wouldn't have had otherwise (and also the large Red painting it's named after)

    Alfred Molina had better timing (first 20secs) when I saw it / that got a laugh. And so it should have.
