“Red” at Guild Hall
June 4, 2014 @ 8:00 pm - June 8, 2014 @ 8:00 pm
$10 – $35
This Tony-Award-winning play, starring Victor Slezak and Christian Scheider, is set in 1958. This two-person drama focuses on master abstract expressionist Mark Rothko, who has been commissioned to create a series of murals for the Four Seasons Restaurant scheduled to open in the architecturally revered new Seagram Building. The play takes place over two years as Rothko works feverishly in his Bowery studio with his young assistant Ken. The two passionately debate the nature of art and why it matters. Raw and provocative, RED is at once a searing portrait of an artist whose ambition, vulnerability and integrity collide.
Seating is limited to 75 as the audience sits on the stage.
May 21 through June 8 / Wednesdays-Sundays at 8 p.m.
