“It’s an incredibly New York kind of story,” suggests Bartlett Sher of how he helped usher “Oslo” into existence. The play-turned-movie tells the true story of the back channel negotiations that resulted in the Oslo Peace Accords. Sher’s daughter was best friends with the daughter of Mona Juul and Terje Rod-Larsen, the Norwegian couple who orchestrated the talks in Oslo. The stories that the pair told Sher during their daughters’ soccer practices were “so incredible” that he introduced them to playwright J.T. Rogers. A thrilling drama was born. Sher directed the Broadway production of “Oslo,” which won the Tony Award for Best Play in 2017. He went on to direct and produce the HBO film adaptation, which is nominated for TV Movie at this year’s Emmy Awards. Watch the exclusive video interview above.
Sher is steeped in the world of theatre, but “Oslo” marks his first true foray into filmmaking.
