Aristotle Onassis, millionaire at 25.
Inspired by the true story of the relationships between Onassis, his lover Maria Callas and wife Jackie Kennedy, this is an extraordinary account of one man?s voracious appetite for sex, money and power ? how those with great wealth and political influence live their lives detached from the moral code and realities of ordinary mortals.
Robert Lindsay stars as Onassis alongside a stellar cast. First performed to great acclaim at Chichester's Minerva Theatre, this explosive new play by Martin Sherman opens in the West End at the Novello Theatre this September for a strictly limited season.
"Escape for an evening to sunny Greece and enjoy acting of the highest quality. This is the true story of the charismatic millionaire Aristotle Onassis, played with great force and conviction by Robert Lindsay, and his lovers, including Maria Callas and Jackie Kennedy. All the actors give of their best, creating real drama and keeping the audience riveted. The unusual set, with a ribbon of blue rippling water lapping the front of the stage, adds a special touch to scenes set on Greek islands or on Aristotle Onassis's luxury yacht. The production is enhanced by interludes of traditional Greek music. Please note: this is not suitable fare for children!"
