EXCELLENT REVIEW ALISON! You were not rolled over by the magnitude of the subject.
My anticipation that through this play my appreciation and understanding of Rothko would be enriched dissapaited with Daniel Benzali's opening monologue. His booming, growling delivery may be fitting for a King Lear or Iago with a single intensity and cadance that remained as an actor delivering lines. Didactic statement stacted on didactic statement ad nauseum. All base rhythm, no melody. The staging: set, lights, blocking, action are very good and visually rewarding.
