Art scandals happen all the time.

Forgeries get caught, headline run for a week, and the world moves on.

But what happens when the fake outlives the scandal?

A couple paid $8.3 million for a painting they believe was a genuine Mark Rothko.

It was fake - painted by a maths teacher from Queens, who later fled the country.

You don’t need to know about theatre to be swept up in it.

ROHTKO dives into this intoxicating world in a wildly inventive European production where art, technology, money and deception collide.
