MGC Artistic Director Michael Grandage directs this first ever UK revival since directing the world premiere at the Donmar Warehouse in 2009 and on Broadway in 2010 where the production went on to win six Tony Awards, including Best Play and Best Direction.
Award-winning stage and screen actor Alfred Molina, who has most recently been see in the BBC’s acclaimed Feud, reprises his role as master American expressionist Mark Rothko who, having just received the largest commission in the history of modern art, finds himself consumed by warring desires for integrity and success.
Molina is joined by breakthrough British actor Alfred Enoch, of US television drama series How to Get Away with Murder, as Rothko's young assistant, Ken, who provokes him to make an agonising discovery about the price of fame.

RED
The West End has a vast amount of plays and musicals to offer you so the question on your mind is surely “what is different about this play?” and “why is this play worth watching?” Well, RED sits on the high shelf of the West End, the tier of award winners and the big names. RED is the small play that pushes its way through and up to the top. The play's world premiere at the Donmar Warehouse (here in the West End) in 2009 as well as its Broadway run in 2010, saw this production go on to win six Tony Awards, and now it’s back.
