Far from any international media attention, these long battling enemies come face to face, not as adversaries, but as humans.<\/p>\n<p>Written by J.T. Rogers, Oslo is a powerful, humorous and inspiring true story about the people inside the politics. The play brings the audience into the apartment of a diplomat, Mona Juul, and her husband, Terje Rod Larsen, a university professor, who unbelievably initiated the process together.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52817\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52817\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52817 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/TimeLine_Oslo_0257_byBrettBeinerPhotography-1024x683-e1568923426232.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/TimeLine_Oslo_0257_byBrettBeinerPhotography-1024x683-e1568923426232.jpg 540w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/TimeLine_Oslo_0257_byBrettBeinerPhotography-1024x683-e1568923426232-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/TimeLine_Oslo_0257_byBrettBeinerPhotography-1024x683-e1568923426232-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/TimeLine_Oslo_0257_byBrettBeinerPhotography-1024x683-e1568923426232-406x271.jpg 406w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52817\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Brett Beiner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As Mona Juul, the always-excellent Bri Sudia steals the stage at every chance.
