A fresh, exciting portrait of a brilliant mind. * Ben Brantley, The New York Times * Smart and scintillating. Red deftly conjures what most plays about artists don't: The exhilaration of the act. * The New Yorker * Plays about painters are fraught with difficulty. Either the hero preaches about art without practicing it, or the Bohemian lifestyle supersedes the work. But John Logan's play about Mark Rothko overcomes these obstacles with finesse... It's a measure of the play's success that it makes you want to rush out and renew acquaintance with Rothko's work.' * Michael Billington, The Guardian *
