Oslo at Three Bone Theatre

Winner of every major theatre award in 2017 including the Tony Award for Best New PlayBased on the incredible true story of the Oslo Peace AccordsThree Bone Theatre presents the Charlotte premiere of Oslo by J.T. RogersRemember the stunning and iconic moment in 1993 when Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Chairman Yasser Arafat shook hands on the South Lawn of the White House? Among the many questions that laced the hope of the moment was that of Norways role. How did such high-profile negotiations come to be held secretly in a castle in the middle of a forest outside of Oslo? A darkly funny and sweeping 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 Israel and the PLO. J.T. Rogers presents a deeply personal story set against a complex historical canvas: a story about the individuals behind world history and their all too human ambitions.Tickets available through Carolina Tix: https://tix.carolinatix.org/online/default.asp?doWork::WScontent::loadArticle=Load&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::article_id=DFB41B64-ED74-424E-B9ED-A901070BE404OSLO is a wonderful and moving work that portrays how real diplomacy works.
