“Oslo is a wonderful and moving work that portrays how real diplomacy works. The play shows us what can happen when men and women on opposite sides of what is perceived as an intractable divide strive to create a shared humanity.” – Ban Ki-moon, former Secretary-General of the United Nations
“A disarmingly funny masterpiece.” – Huffington Post
“So human and so funny. Oslo is gripping, compelling, and compulsively watchable. This is what we call drama, and it’s what we live for. So, go, already—live!” – Variety
“The stuff of crackling theater…Oslo is a vivid, thoughtful, and astonishingly lucid account of a byzantine chapter in international politics.” – New York Times
“Big-boned and gripping.” – New York Magazine
“A riveting political thriller.” –

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An audio production of the play, the stage version of which won the Tony award for Best play in 2017. It's 1993 and the Norwegian foreign ministry and one of the country's think tanks are the unlikely architects of secret peace talks between Israel and Palestine. The play recounts how a small group of individuals worked to create the Oslo Peace Accords. Filled with plenty of political intrigue, a healthy dose of humour, and beautiful moments exploring the humanity of all of the diplomats involved this is an excellent play and recommended.
