“Molina stars as abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko and Groff as
Rothko’s assistant and errand boy Ken, in this Tony Award–winning play
about the creation of Rothko’s ill-fated Seagram Murals…Ken, an entirely fictional character, acts as the voice of modernity—and
Groff effectively captures the essence of this evolving character…And while Rothko’s
dark undercurrents are clear in Molina’s performance, the narrator
provides nuanced characterization, revealing the complexities that make
Rothko a figure of significance even today.”
