Oslo is a play by J. T. Rogers, recounting (in dramatized, partially fictional form) the true-life, previously secret, back-channel negotiations in the development of the pivotal 1990s Oslo Peace Accords between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The play premiered Off-Broadway in June 2016 and then transferred to Broadway in April 2017.[1][2]
In May 2017, Oslo won the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Play,[3] the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Broadway Play,[4] the 2017 Drama League Award for Outstanding Production of a Play,[5] and two 2017 Obie Awards, one for Best New American Theater Work and the other an Ensemble Award (shared by the director and the entire Off-Broadway cast).[6][7]
At the 71st Tony Awards, Oslo won the Tony Award for Best Play and Best Featured Actor in a Play award for Michael Aronov.[8] It also won the 2017 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play[9] and the 2016-2017 New York Drama Critics' Circle award for Best Play[10] – for a sweep of the 2016-2017 awards season.
