“The Rothko paintings prompted the play, screenwriter-playwright Logan told Playbill.com’s Stage to Screens column. “We filmed ‘Sweeney Todd’ at Pinewood, so I was in London for months on end,” Logan said. “I would walk about the city, and I went to the Tate Modern where, at that point, the Rothko Seagram paintings were. I just absolutely fell in love with them, and that’s what led me to write the play. When I thought about the way the colors in the paintings vibrate back and forth, I thought it would be a great two-hander because it sorta represents and mirrors his work. Once I came up with the idea of Rothko and his assistant, everything fell into place.”“
