Booking to 30 December 2017
The West End premiere of Oslo at the Harold Pinter Theatre.
The 2017 Tony Award® winner transfers direct from a critically acclaimed sold-out run on Broadway for a strictly limited season.
Oslo tells the true story of two maverick Norwegian diplomats who coordinated the top-secret talks and inspired seemingly impossible friendships between Israeli, Palestinian, Norwegian and American people. Their quiet heroics led to the ground-breaking Oslo Peace Accords.
The cast is led by Toby Stephens in the role of social-scientist Terje Rød-Larsen, with Lydia Leonardas his wife, diplomat Mona Juul and Peter Polycarpou plays Ahmed Qurie, the former Prime Minister of the Palestinian National Authority.
Soon to be made into a major feature film, Bartlett Sher’s acclaimed production of this new play by J.T. Rogers (Blood & Gifts, The Overwhelming, National Theatre) sets a deeply personal story against an epic historical landscape.
Oslo runs from 30 September 2017 until 30 December 2017 at the Harold Pinter Theatre.
