FRANKLIN — Audiences are raving about Franklin Stage Company’s stellar production of Red, but there are only FOUR more chances to see Red before it closes August 24. The performances are at FSC, 25 Institute Street, Franklin.

Set in the 1950s, John Logan's Red portrays a period in the life of 20th century abstract expressionist Mark Rothko as he struggles to complete a commission of mural paintings for the Four Seasons restaurant. Red is a fascinating exploration of the ever-changing relationship between the artist and his creations and explores the rewards and temptations of fame and its challenges to an artist's integrity.
