The Play "OSLO" by J.T. Rogers Oustanading Insight into 1993 Israeli/PLO Peace Process

I have high praise for this brilliant play that acts as a reminder of courageous & historic events all too soon forgotten.  Playwright J.T. Rogers' (b. Amer '68) powerful production sheds light on the arduous, tenuous & clandestine negotitations leading to the 1st ever Peace Deal agreed to between Israel & the PLO.  The iconic image of Pres Clinton standing with Prime Minister Rabin & Chairman Arafat in the White House Rose Garden in 1993 has become a fading memory along with fading hope to a meaningful & lasting peace accord between them.  Rogers previous play "Madagascar"('05)  earned him a Pinter Prize for Drama.  Rogers has been commissioned by Linc Ctr Theater to writer plays.  Rogers uses historic events in many of his works. "Oslo" is an engrossing play despite its 3 hours + running time because the backstory of how the Oslo Peace Accords were orchestrated is fascinating.  Furthermore, the relevant history & ongoing violent relationship Israel & Palestine is encapsalated in a cogent & informative manner all the more edifying by this entertaining production.  The ensemble cast is exceptional.  The actors all assume multiple roles, accents and present both impassable obdurance and human frailty.  This significant expose argues positions arduously between diametrically opposed people, but at the heart of the play is the humanity that resides in all of us (and egos.)   The enmity between warring factions wears down when people meet face to face.  Sadly, the human race rushes headlong into violent retaliations which render peaceful negotiations negligible.   I urge everyone to see this illuminating drama.  I recommend the play for a Pulitzer Peace Prize.  During strategic mediation,  Perez says "What is a lie but a dream that could come true."
