A Queen is taken captive. Denied lover's escape to the forest. The fairy King wages war against the fairy Queen and a group of average Joes make plans for the performance of the decade.

Master abstract expressionist Mark Rothko has just landed the biggest commission in the history of modern art, a series of murals for New York’s famed Four Seasons Restaurant. In the two fascinating years that follow, Rothko works feverishly with his young assistant, Ken, in his studio on the Bowery. But when Ken gains the confidence to challenge him, Rothko faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing. Raw and provocative, RED is a searing portrait of an artist’s ambition and vulnerability as he tries to create a definitive work for an extraordinary setting.

 Watch characters who come to look at “modern art” in a “museum gallery exhibit”.  Visitors come and go commenting on what they like and don’t like.  Should a painting match your couch?  Can you try and copy a painting that is covered in white paint? If this one-act play is really a metaphor for how we “see” the world, what does it say about you and me?
