Onassis at Derby Theatre
Thursday 9 - Saturday 25 September 2010

Prior to a West End run, Derbyshire born Robert Lindsay will star in the
title role of Martin Sherman's new play ONASSIS, directed by Nancy Meckler.

ONASSIS is the story of the last years in the life of Aristotle Onassis, and of his passionate and interwoven relationships with Jackie Kennedy and Maria Callas, and his son Alexandros. Based on material from Peter Evans' book Nemesis, ONASSIS is an explosive account of how those in positions of enormous power and wealth often live lives detached from the realities and moral codes of everyday existence.

Robert Lindsay has a distinguished career including on television Citizen Smith, Jake's Progress and GBH, for which he won a BAFTA Award for Best Actor. His films include Divorcing Jack, Genghis Cohn and Remember Me. His award-winning theatre credits include The Entertainer, Richard III, Oliver! and My Girl.

The cast will also include Lydia Leonard as Jackie Kennedy, Anna Francolini as Maria Callas, Liz Crowther, Ben Grove, Robert Hastie, John Hodgkinson, Sue Kelvin, Graeme Taylor and Gawn Grainger.

ONASSIS contains strong language and scenes of a sexual nature.
