A look at the play 'Red' - Charlie Rose's interesting roundtable discussion with playwright John Logan, Michael Grandage,
Director of The Donmar Warehouse, Alfred Molina and Eddie Redmayne (with short videos of scenes from the play). I decided
to post these pictures - Eddie looks so good! I thought, it worth to post the video again too - although it's in my post about the play, but maybe it's lost among the wealth of informations there.
Charlie Rose said in the end: "You don't wanna see a play after that" (X)

Red hinges on the story of the series of paintings called The Seagram Murals, which were commissioned to hang in the Four Seasons restaurant in the Mies van der Rohe-designed Seagram building, but were never delivered when Rothko (perhaps balking at the idea of his paintings hanging in such an obviously commercial space) canceled the agreement, and later donated some of the paintings to the Tate Museum in London....(full article)
Bonus - I found this photo recently:
