About the Work:
Jackie, by Nobel Prize–winning playwright Elfriede Jelinek, is a solo work centered on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and the public image constructed around her. Through clothes, photographs, memories, and fragments of language, the play examines love, death, power, and the transformation of a private woman into an American icon.
Tea Alagić directed the play’s 2013 North American premiere at Women’s Project Theater in New York, starring Tina Benko. The production received two Lucille Lortel Award nominations.

The New York Times: Excerpt: ‘Jackie’
Tina Benko in a scene from Elfriede Jelinek’s play “Jackie,” about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
The New Yorker
Benko’s nuanced performance, under the direction of Tea Alagić , is hilarious, inspired, and fabulous, though she could just as easily be playing a wild secretary from “Mad Men.”
The North American premiere of Jackie received two Lucille Lortel Award nominations:
- Outstanding Solo Show (Tina Benko)
- Outstanding Sound Design (Jane Shaw)
Tina Benko’s acclaimed portrayal of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis earned a Lucille Lortel Award nomination for Outstanding Solo Show, recognizing her performance in Tea Alagić’s production of Elfriede Jelinek’s provocative one-woman play.
