Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are

keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Loeb, age nineteen, killed fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks. They

everything that is essential about America today." Newsday.
"Smart and scintillating. Red deftly conjures what most plays about
artists don't: The exhilaration of the act." The New Yorker Under
the watchful gaze of his young assistant and the threatening
presence of a new generation of artists, Mark Rothko takes on his
greatest challenge yet: to create a definitive work for an
extraordinary setting. A moving and compelling account of one of
the greatest artists of the 20th century whose struggle to accept
his growing riches and praise became his ultimate undoing.
Nominated for 7 Olivier Awards (2009) and winner of 6 Tony Awards
(2010) including Best New Play, Red is published in Methuen Drama's
Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Michael
