2017 TONY® AWARD-WINNER FOR BEST PLAY

In 1993, in front of the world’s press, the leaders of Israel and Palestine shook hands on the lawn of the White House. Few watching would have guessed that the negotiations leading up to this iconic moment started secretly in a castle in the middle of a forest outside Oslo.

Inspired by the true story of the back-channel talks, unlikely friendships, and quiet heroics that led to the Oslo Peace Accords, Oslo is a deeply personal story set against a complex historical canvas, a story about the individuals behind world history and their all too human ambitions.

At this cultural moment when finding common ground is paramount, “Oslo gives us hope” (Daily News).

Reviews

Joel Greenberg’s pacy and elegant production delivers for the audience. This improbable story of world-altering political negotiations in the Norwegian woods is actually true. It implores the audience to keep believing that progress is possible.

Toronto Star (★★★☆)

4 STARS! Expertly staged. The actors are excellent. Deft humour.

NOW (NNNN)

Think of it as the intellectual’s Come From Away.

The Globe and Mail (★★★☆)

A MUST-SEE! Suspenseful, captivating and excellent!

L’Express

Such a play as this needs an especially intelligent, articulate cast, and that is exactly what director Joel Greenberg has assembled.

Christopher Hoile, Stage Door (★★★★☆)

A powerful look behind the scenes of a moment in history that changed the world.

Global TV

A marvellous theatrical experience.

Mooney on Theatre

The breaking down of barriers, political and personal, accompanied by both intense anger and laugh-out-loud humour, is one of the delights of the play.

 Ludwig van Toronto

The political and the personal are joined to make fine drama.
