Winner! 2017 Tony Award for Best Play
Remember the stunning and iconic moment in 1993 when Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat shook hands on the South Lawn of the White House? How did such high-profile negotiations come to be held secretly in a Norwegian castle? A sweeping, historical, and darkly funny play, Oslo tells the surprising true story of the back-channel talks, unlikely friendships, and quiet heroics that led to the Oslo Peace Accords between the Israelis and Palestinians.
