Awards and reviews
February 2010
Bold and brilliant, Jackie O is as colourful as the people it depicts. The action climaxes on a fact-based fictional meeting in Act 2 between Jackie and Maria Callas, Onassis's two famous lovers, who find a freedom from their men in art, patriotism and confession. ...the staging overall is impressively marshalled and restrained.
