    What the critics say

    RED John LoganRead by Alfred Molina, Jonathan GroffWhen the first sound effects punctuate the silence, listeners know they have joined a live audience to experience this L.A. Theatre Works staged reading. Ken, a young assistant to Abstract Expressionist painter Mark Rothko, is starting his first day in Rothko's New York studio. Jonathan Groff skillfully projects Ken's hesitancy as he tries to suss out his new job, and his bigger-than-life employer. Alfred Molina, as Rothko, IS bigger than life. He's huge, in voice and temper, and conveys Rothko's immense intellect and artistic vision. Listeners are immediately drawn into the power of this drama, and the script teaches and engages. The sense of being part of the live audience in wait for the next explosion of activity is palpable. A terrific example of the success of listener engagement in recorded plays.

    phenomenal!

    Alfred Molina and Jonathan Groff are amazing. I did not expect to listen to this entire play in one sitting, but I devoured it and could easily listen to it again tomorrow. I may even do exactly that.

    this play was emotional and bittersweet at times, but optimistic and beautiful. I cannot wait to listen to it again and I hope one day I get to see it on stage.
