Following its World Premiere at the Donmar Warehouse December 2009, Neal Street partnered with Arielle Tepper to transfer Red to the Golden Theatre Broadway opening March 2010 for a highly celebrated limited engagement. The production won six Tony Awards including; Best Play, Best Director and Best Featured Actor for Eddie Redmayne.
The play is a searing portrait of Mark Rothko, one of the greatest artists of the 20th Century. Set in his studio in 1958/59 during the period when Rothko was commissioned to paint a group of murals for the exclusive Four Seasons Restaurant. His young assistant at once challenges and toils for him in the intense few days during which the works are created.
