Onassis 2010
Onassis is an outstanding venture in the commercial west
end. Unlike today's celebrity trivia, the Onassis story
incorporates major issues. The seduction scene between
Robert Lindsay's Onassis and Lydia Leonard's Jackie
is charged with cultural as well as sexual tensions.
Lindsay's Onassis is mercurial: quietly sophisticated,
wantonly crude, alluringly witty, subtly aggressive.
It's a brilliant central performance.

The ever magnificent Robert Lindsay gives a gripping
performance as Onassis.

...Martin Sherman's fascinating new play...
* * * * The Independent
Robert Lindsay is hypnotic as this Machiavellian Puppet
Master, who serves up a cocktail of lies seductions and
threats.
