Today, July 16, Oslo concludes its Broadway run after an extension on its limited engagement at the Lincoln Center Theatre.
Inspired by the true story of the back-channel talks, unlikely friendships and quiet heroics that led to the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords between the Israelis and Palestinians, 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. Oslo is "thrilling, a colossus," raves Ben Brantley of The New York Times. At this cultural moment when finding common ground is paramount, "OSLO gives us hope" (Joe Dziemianowicz, Daily News).
