Onassis
About this book
Onassis portraysthe last years of the life of the wealthy shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, who after a notorious affair with Maria Callas, married Jacqueline Kennedy, widow of US President John F. Kennedy, in 1968.
A millionaire at 25, hehad become one of the world's richest men, but it was the glamour of the women in his life which brought him real fame, causing him to pursue personal vendettas and amassing empires on an international scale.
Based in part on Peter Evans' book Nemesis, Onassis is an explosive account of one man's voracious appetite for sex, money and power. The play depictsOnassis' complex interwoven relationships with women and his family, aswell ashis long-running feud with the Kennedy family and the American establishment. With hints of Greek tragedy and hubris, it exploreshow those with great wealth and political influence live their lives detached from the moral code and realities of ordinary mortals. Onassis is a revised version of the play which, under its former title Aristo, opened to critical acclaim at theChichester Festival Theatre in 2008.
