"John Logan's play Red, which is based on a two-year period in the life of the expressionist abstract painter Mark Rothko, won the Tony Award for Best Play in 2010. With two exceptional lead performances, this thought-provoking drama is receiving an excellent production at Theatre Artists Studio....This is a play of many layers. On one hand it is the story of a teacher and a student, on another level it is the story of a man trying to hold on to what he believes art is and how no one truly sees it the way he does...Rothko is portrayed by Michael Fleck, a powerful force of nature in the role delivering a thoughtful, nuanced and fully fleshed out performance....Fleck is riveting in the role...(Quinn) Johnson's ability to show the vast changes his character makes and the strength he finds is incredibly well done....Carol MacLeod's direction is excellent....incredibly rewarding. MacLeod, Fleck and Johnson are to be commended for providing a thrilling production of Logan's excellent play.. " -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"There are three very good reasons to see RED, Theatre Artists Studio's production of John Logan's Tony award-winning drama: The acting. The acting. The acting! Indeed, there's a fourth very good reason and that is the astute and impeccable direction of Carol MacLeod. Veteran thespian Michael Fleck delivers a roaring and riveting performance as Mark Rothko...Newcomer Quinn Johnson is captivating as he evolves his character over the course of the five scenes that cover Ken's three years under the tutelage of the grand master. ..The chemistry between Fleck/Rothko and Johnson/Ken is palpable and dynamic....RED is a play, in itself, of multiple layers. Director Carol MacLeod, Michael Fleck, and Quinn Johnson have left an indelible mark of excellence on its canvas. RED, unequivocally classifiable as a must-see production " - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
