With a sense of history, heart, and, most importantly, humor, L.A. Theatre Works presents their superb audio adaptation of this 2017 Tony Award-winning play, which stands the thorny issue of Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy on its head. It’s 1993, and the peace process between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization has once again ground to a halt. Along come (and this is all true) two Norwegian diplomats, wonderfully played by JD Cullum and Devon Sorvari, who create a secret back channel for negotiators to work out their political, and sometimes highly personal, differences. The result is the 1995 Oslo II Accord. This play, which reveals that high-wire diplomacy is a very human process, is performed by an outstanding cast of internationally acclaimed actors.
