Commented on by a gossiping Greek chorus, 'Onassis' is a portrait of the complex and sometimes dark entanglements of powerful families, Onassis's relationship with Jacqueline and the scorned Maria, and the tragedy of his son Alexandros. Onassis himself is charming, charismatic, and inescapably sinister. The play premiered as 'Aristo' at the Chichester Festival Theatre in 2008; 'Onassis' is a revised version.
