Tickets are now available to see Tony winners Jefferson Mays and Jennifer Ehle in the world premiere of J.T. Rogers’ Oslo off-Broadway. Helmed by Tony winner Bartlett Sher, the production will begin previews on June 16 at Lincoln Center Theater’s Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater. Opening night is set for July 11.
The play tells the true—albeit little known—story of Norwegian diplomat Mona Juul and her husband, Terje Rød-Larsen, who together coordinated top-secret peace negotiations between Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat in the early 1990s. Their efforts culminated in the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993. The show, billed as a darkly comic epic, brings dozens of diplomats and political figures together through various settings around the world.
The cast will also include Michael Aronov, current Fiddler on the Roof star Adam Dannheisser, Daniel Jenkins, Dariush Kashani, Daniel Oreskes, Henry Russell, Joseph Siravo and T. Ryder Smith.
