NEW YORK—While behind-the-scenes stories of how deals get made can be wonderfully interesting, the real surprise is often that they’re able to get made at all—even when both sides actually want the deal to happen.
Brilliantly exploring this situation is J.T. Rogers’s drama “Oslo,” now at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater at Lincoln Center, which details the events that led to the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). This fascinating examination of politics and human nature runs through Aug. 28.
The play shows itself to be a human drama leavened with humor.
