In John Logan’s Tony award winning play Red, we enter the world of Mark Rothko as seen through the eyes of his naive new assistant Ken. Through Rothko’s mentorship of Ken we get to explore the creative process and worldview of an artist at the forefront of the abstract impressionist movement, as well as his reaction to the entrance of pop art onto the scene. Themes of creation, intention, and meaning in art weave through the tight dialog as Rothko preaches and Ken matures. Ken, at first overwhelmed and uncertain in the presence of the artist, eventually grows to challenge the master and helps Rothko as he straddles the line between the business and the integrity of his art. Red is the story of art, but it is also a story of the struggle for perfection and how expectations shape our lives.
