In 1993, unbeknownst to the rest of the world, an audacious husband-and-wife team of Norwegian bureaucrats assembled a motley band of would-be diplomats from the Middle East to attempt the unimaginable: negotiate peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Operating only through back-channels—in secrecy, and without any official bargaining power—the group struggles to find middle ground as political tensions reach a fever pitch, and these peacemakers must rely on the strength of the surprising personal bonds they have forged if they want to succeed. Based on the true events surrounding the Oslo Peace Accords, this thrilling nail-biter won the 2017 Tony Award for Best Play.
