Red

I took Mum tonight to see MTC's production of "Red".

While the night air was crisp and hinted at the Winter chill that is to come, we ventured out together for a night at the theatre to celebrate her Birthday.

In 1958, abstract expressionist Mark Rothko began painting his vast canvasses for the exclusive Four Seasons restaurant. It will be the culmination of his art: a series of sublime expanses of red – landscapes to be lost in, seas to be submerged in. These works will form the biggest commission of the modern art world, but will they be his undoing?
