History has a knack for instilling newfound relevance into even the oldest works of art. Not that
Oslo, J.T. Rogers s Tony-winning docudrama about the agreement between Israelis and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) secretly negotiated in Oslo in 1993, is all that old (it premiered off-Broadway in 2016).
But a new film adaptation of the play, which premieres on HBO on Saturday, May 29, arrives just after a recent flare-up of violence between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, giving it fresh relevance. As recent events may renew despair in some that Israelis and Palestinians will ever find a path to peace, the film dramatizes a brief, shining moment when such a reconciliation seemed within reach.
It is difficult to watch
Oslo without feeling doleful throughout. The film, which will premiere on HBO Max in the US on Saturday, recounts the back-channel negotiations between the Palestine Liberation Organisation and Israel that led to the signing of the Oslo I Accord in September 1993.
It was adapted from the Tony Award-winning play by J T Rogers, who also wrote the screenplay for the film, and was directed by
The King and I Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher, who directed the Broadway production of
Oslo.
Oslo is being released on the heels of one of the most violent flare-ups of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in recent years.
