—GREAT PERFORMANCES Presents Third Annual “Broadway’s Best” Lineup Featuring Tony Award-winning Productions Fridays, November 1-29 on KPBS—
Members can stream all 5 plays beginning November 1, before the broadcast premiere, with KPBS Passsport.
Award-winning stage and screen actor Alfred Molina reprises his critically acclaimed performance as the American abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko in playwright John Logan’s Tony Award-winning 2010 play "Red."
Under the watchful gaze of his young assistant — and the growing competitive presence of a new generation of artists — Rothko takes on his greatest career challenge yet: to create a definitive series of paintings for the Philip Johnson-designed Four Seasons restaurant in architect Mies van der Rohe’s iconic Seagram Building.
Molina is joined by rising star Alfred Enoch (HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER) as Rothko’s assistant Ken.
Original Broadway director Michael Grandage returns to direct this 2018 West End revival, the first U.K. production since the play’s 2009 world premiere at the Donmar Warehouse.
