JACKIE Presented by The New Theatre
Jacqueline and John F Kennedy were, for a brief period during the twentieth century, the ultimate power couple.
An enigma to the outside world, Jackie had long confided in an Irish chaplain, a contemporary and associate of Michael Collins, Lady Lavery and George Bernard Shaw, whom she befriended when visiting Ireland in 1950 and who became her spiritual advisor.
Widely revered as an icon of elegance and grace, Jackie was by JFK’s side on the road to the White House and she herself was a champion of civil rights and the arts.
Jackie was beside JFK on that fateful day when he was struck down by an assassin’s bullet.
Through the lens of an enduring friendship with her Irish chaplain, the mystery, the contradictions and the tragedy of Jackie’s life is revealed.
