RED is a tense, reverberating double-header about painter Mark Rothko (Jeremy Smith), at the height of his fame, arrogance and creativity, whilst in the process of creating a series of murals commissioned for the exclusive new Four Seasons Restaurant - at the time the most expensive and lavish art commission in history.

Viewed through the lens of his new, youthful assistant Ken (Zachary Hart), we witness Rothko struggle with his mortality, waning relevance and legacy. Set over the course of two years, they challenge each other to answer the big questions about art: what it means to create, and the ever-changing role of art in a modernising world.

*Content Warning: Contains some mature themes, language and references to suicide. Recommended for mature audience.
